All-In-One Italian Roast Chicken

All-In-One Italian Roast Chicken

This is genius! Everyone loves roast chicken and veges, and we've added a delicious Italian-style tomato sauce all in one dish. Super easy!

  • Serves 4
  • Prep Time
  • Cook Time
  • 750 g chicken thigh cutlets and/or drumsticks, skin on
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into thick wedges
  • 300 g potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 400 g pumpkin, seeds removed and cut into wedges
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 400 g can Wattie’s Pesto Style Tomatoes
  • ½ cup chicken stock or water
  • Wattie’s frozen Baby Peas

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Trim the chicken pieces if necessary. Season and place in a large open roasting dish.

2. Toss the prepared vegetables in a little oil (olive is nice) and place the vegetables around the chicken.

3. Roast chicken and vegetables for 40 minutes. Mix the Wattie’s Pesto Style Tomatoes
and stock together. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Return to the oven and continue cooking a further 15-20 minutes until chicken and vegetables are cooked. Serve with Wattie’s Baby Peas.

An ideal way for me to have a roast without having to cook whole bird. Think I'll use the tomatoes as a sauce when serving. Sounds really good!
