Free Healthy Recipe - Roast Chicken with Carrots and Brussels Sprouts

Dairy free, Gluten free, Low carbohydrate, Low fat, Low GI, Low sugar, Wheat Free

Who doesn't love a roast dinner? Many people buy those horrible rotisserie chickens from the supermarket but baking your own is so easy to do, and the taste is far superior.

Ingredients
1½ kg chicken - organic, free range
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp nigella seed, black
400 grams carrot, peeled and quartered lengthways
2 tsp corn flour
1 cup chicken - organic, stock (we use The Stock Merchant)
24 brussels sprouts peeled (using a small knife, cut a small cross at the centre of each stem to help with heat penetration)
½ tsp sea salt
Method

Preheat oven to 200° C.

Brush chicken with ½ tbs olive oil and season with pepper. Thread the chicken onto a rotisserie or roast on a rack in a roasting pan in the oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 180°C and roast for another 50 minutes.

Toss the remaining oil and nigella seeds over the carrots and place on a separate roasting pan. Place in oven for the last 15 minutes of cooking the chicken.

Transfer chicken to a plate to rest and cover loosely with aluminium foil.

Increase oven temperature to 200°C and cook the carrots for another 10 minutes. Transfer carrots to a bowl. Drain the fat from the roasting pan into a jar and discard. To make gravy, whisk the cornflour into the remaining juices in the roasting pan on the cooktop over medium heat. Cook for a minute or so, then slowly whisk in the chicken stock

Meanwhile, steam the brussels sprouts for approximately 7 minutes or until tender. (If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little of the sprout juice.) Season the gravy with salt and pepper.

Serve the chicken with gravy, carrots, and sprouts.
