How To Make roasted chicken with vegetable stuffing

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Get a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Step 2
    Dice carrot, garlic, and apple. These can be small to medium pieces.
  • Step 3
    Rip the rosemary off the sprig in the opposite direction of the leaves. Chop the chives and rosemary. Put everything in a bowl.
  • Step 4
    Take the chicken out of the package. Rinse the inside with water. Drain well. Pat dry inside and out.
  • Step 5
    Place chicken in the pan. Rub olive oil inside and out. Salt inside and out. Add pepper to the outside.
  • Step 6
    Stuff the bird with the carrot, garlic, and apple mixture. Some of it won't fit. Empty the contents into the baking pan wherever.
  • Step 7
    Dice sweet potato into small to medium chunks. Add the sweet potatoes separately around the chicken.
  • Step 8
    Pour the rest of the olive oil (or more if you already used it) on the vegetables. Add more salt and pepper.
  • Step 9
    Let it roast for approximately 2 hours or until the juices run clear between the breast and leg.
  • Step 10
    If you have a thermometer, it should read 165 degrees F. Add an extra 30 minutes if it's not done by 2 hours.
