Beet me

Baked Chicken and Roasted Root Veges






So this is the usual meal at home Meat Veges Salad small amount of cheese. So not much you can really change to make it amazing except for the veges. Beetroot is fun to cook with..... fresh people fresh.

This is a very easy easy recipe and i stole/got inspiration for the chicken from non other than Martha Stewart. YAY she was fun to watch. There was this celebrity (z list) cause  I've never seen her (obviously i know all the good ones... cough cough anyhoo she is staying on the z list).
So Martha was bossing her around and she was doing all types of wrong and it was funny cause Martha tries to be nice but gets very bossy and then the zceleb felt bad and then Martha apologised and then repeat cycle.

I would have roasted the Beets whole in foil with herbs inside the foil but that take too long to cook. So i chopped them up. Then everything went red... but i like it.

Ingredients

Chicken Breast
Mixed Salad
Feta (I'm obsessed with Meredith Diary i think i need to do a solo blog just on their products)
Parsnip
Sweet Potato
Honey
1/2 Lemon
Oregano
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Method

Preheat Oven to maybe about 180 (I'm not sure my oven doesn't have the numbers on the dial)

Cut the root veges up into smallish sizes
Place veges in a oven dish
Coat with oil (not to much)
Heat honey in microwave
Pour honey in over the veges (not to much)
Add a small amount of oregano
Mix around so all the veges are coated
Pop tray in the oven

Place the chicken into a oven dish
Coat chicken with oil
Cover with oregano (i used dried.. that's all i had)
Cut the lemon and squeeze the juice (cut the lemon half into half again)

Pinch of salt and pepper
Turn the chicken and mix around and so forth until both sides are covered evenly
Between the chicken breasts place the lemon that you used

Bake in the oven i think it took around 30 mins to cook

Get a plate
Put the chicken on it
Mixed Salad
Crumble feta on the salad
Put the roasted root veges on the plate

Happy eating everyone, for some reason the chicken stayed super moist and the veges also were covered in beetroot juice and tasted really really good. The Bf is not so keen on the parsnip but i really liked the texture and flavour they added to the root vege mix.
