Directions
Chicken
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub your whole chicken with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and seasonings. Massage seasonings all over your chicken.
Step 2
Place chicken into a deep pan and place into oven uncovered. Bake for 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 3
Remove chicken from oven once done. Place onto a cutting board and let rest.
Step 4
To make gravy, melt 4 tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Once melted whisk in 3 tbsp flour until a roux forms. Slowly begin adding in the juices from your pan, whisking constantly. When juices are gone, continue adding chicken broth until you’ve reached the desired consistency…usually about 3 cups total liquid (juice included). Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Vegetables
Step 1
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in water, cover with lid and let cook for 5 minutes. Taste your veggies for doneness. Should still be crisp and brightly colored. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Remove from heat and into serving dish.
