I did this one but a little different – I had a whole chicken, used the same ingredients thyme, rosemary, vegeta – no water but olive oil over top instead .. it was amazing, so flavourful – Vegeta is my new favourite thing! The chicken was perfect, served over creamy mash potato & packet chicken gravy – no complaints & my Dog woofed down his own serving too .. most definitely will do again for an easy roast style meal with minimal effort 🙂
I tried this one with a whole chicken & chicken thighs & it was absolutely amazing with both. Even my extremely fussy 4 kids absolutely loved it and have requested it again and again. I served it with creamy mash and a chicken gravy from Aldi.
It is an amazingly easy and affordable dish to make which is very very filling.
That’s such wonderful feedback!!
Thanks Nicole 🙂
Omg I really enjoyed this one. I didn’t have thyme or dried rosemary so I used mixed herbs and Italian herbs and it tasted beautiful. Will definitely make this one again.
Fabulous – thanks Linda! Great to know other combos that work too 🙂
