Erica said:Hi there,
I am planning to make a chicken recipe that entails roasting the meat
for 35-40 minutes at 450 degrees. I would also like to put a pan of
vegetables in the oven at the same time. Ideally, I was planning on
red-skinned potatoes, baby carrots, and blanched pearl onions, tossed
with a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The question is, will
the
vegetables be okay at such a high temperature? Or will the outsides
scorch before the inside is done?
TIA!
I realize the following recipe is not exactly what you are making but
you might find the technique of using a cup of chicken stock of
interest. Substitute your veggies of choice for the artichoke and
garlic.
Chicken with artichokes and garlic
----------------------------------------
2 chicken breasts split in half with skin and bones
1 whole head of garlic, peeled
9 ounces of artichoke hearts, drained if using from a jar, defrosted if
frozen
1 medium onion coarsely chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 whole prigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Rinse the breast and pat dry; arrange them
in a baking dish and surround them with all the remaining ingredient
except the stock. Pour the stock over and cover with foil.
Place in the oven and bake, covered for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and
bake for another 30 - 40 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated,
basting every 10 -15 minutes.
Serves 4
