    Roasted Chicken and Brussels Sprouts is a nourishing, filling, and easy to prepare meal that won't break the budget

    Roasted Chicken and Brussels

    Throwing everything into the oven to make dinner makes me happy. When it is also a budget friendly meal, I am even happier. Roasting a whole chicken and some veggies makes for a tasty dinner that doesn't require much work.

    The second I see whole chickens on sale, I buy one. I may or may not have 3 whole chickens in my freezer at this moment.

    I may or may not have issues with how much I like whole roasted chicken.

    Roasted Chicken and Brussels

    There are a few reasons why whole chickens are great:

    1. A freshly roasted chicken is delicious. Have you ever had perfectly crispy chicken skin? Tell me you didn't love it; I wouldn't believe you.
    2. You get lots of chicken from a whole chicken. One chicken gives you about 4 cups of shredded chicken.
    3. You can make your own chicken stock from the chicken bones, so you're not wasting anything!

    Even if you don't get your chicken on sale, it's still a good deal. Then I grab whatever veggie is on sale. This week it happened to be Brussels sprouts, and I would do it again even if the Brussels sprouts weren't on sale. Gotta love roasted Brussels sprouts. Roasting them brings out some of their sweetness.

    Initially, I wanted to serve this with baked sweet potatoes, but I forgot to buy them. Instead I just served this with a whole grain roll. If you wanted to serve with sweet potatoes, just wrap them in foil and bake for about an hour.

    There you have it -- a nourishing, filling, and easy to prepare meal that won't break the budget. Oh and don't forget to save your chicken bones, so you can make chicken broth (more money saving whoop whoop).

    Ingredients

    • 3-4 pound whole chicken
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 medium onion chopped
    • 1 medium lemon
    • 1 ยผ teaspoon salt
    • ยพ teaspoon paprika
    • ยฝ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ยผ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Start by preheating the oven to 400°F and lining a rimmed baking sheet with foil {this is for easier clean-up; this step is optional}. Make sure that the oven racks are in the bottom third of the oven.
    • Put about โ…” of onion {about 1 cup} in a pile in the center of the baking sheet. Set aside the remaining onion (to go inside the cavity of the chicken).
    • Open your chicken from the package and take out the insides; discard. Don’t bother washing the chicken. Pat the chicken really dry.
    • Rub the very dry chicken with 2 teaspoons of oil, coating the entire chicken and under the skin.
    • Then rub with salt and the spices, if using.
    • Finish up the chicken by filling the chicken with lemon and some chopped onion.
    • Now transfer your well-seasoned and filled chicken to the baking sheet. Put in on top of the onion, breast side up. Set the timer for 60 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, chop your brussels sprouts and toss with remaining 4 teaspoons olive oil and ยผ teaspoon salt. Put on a baking sheet. Add to the oven about 30 minutes into cooking the chicken.
    • Roast everything until the chicken is done (test with a meat thermometer until it registers as 165°F). Mine usually takes about 75 minutes.
