7 days of EASY dinners from ONE Trader Joe’s groce 7 days of EASY dinners from ONE Trader Joe’s grocery haul 👩🏻‍🍳🧄🥕 just posted a recap of these easy recipes and my grocery list on the blog! Comment “MEALS” and I’ll message you the link to the post! #traderjoes #easyrecipes #grocerylist #mealplanning #familydinner
I ran out of people to text photos of the roasted I ran out of people to text photos of the roasted chicken I made tonight, so I decided to give it some more love here. 🤌🏻My entire family devoured it, and my four-year-old even asked for more! 🤌🏻 I can’t wait to add this one to our weekly rotation! It was so easy! 👩🏻‍🍳 RECIPE BELOW!

🍋🧄🥕 Lemon garlic roasted whole chicken, the whole damn chicken: I added butter, shallots, carrots, celery, lemon, salt, and pepper to the bottom of my Dutch oven.

I used a 3½ lb organic whole chicken, removed the giblets, patted it dry, and stuffed it with 1/2 lemon, fresh thyme, garlic cloves, celery, and carrots.

For the lemon garlic butter, I mixed:

* 1/3 cup melted butter
* 2 minced garlic cloves
* 1 tsp lemon zest

I poured that all over the chicken, seasoned it generously with salt and pepper, added a drizzle of olive oil, and topped it with fresh thyme!

Into the oven at 375°F with the lid on for 1½ hours, then lid off for another 25 minutes. I broiled it for the final 5 minutes to crisp up the skin! Just watch it closely so it doesn’t burn. Cooking times will vary, so check early and make sure the chicken reaches 165°F.

I saved all the extra broth for homemade soup!
