Today’s Menu: Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken w/ Potato Pancakes, Cut Green Beans, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread

 
Beautiful but crisp and sunny Autumn Day, started out at 28 degrees this morning. Ran a couple of errands and went to Kroger for a couple of items. i needed some Sugarless Peach Preserves for a recipe that I had planned on having to night. I found the Peach Preserves, though not Sugarless will still work. But also while there they had some of the Perdue Oven Ready Whole Seasoned Roaster Chickens in stock and couldn’t pass up grabbing one. So dinner went from a Pork Tenderloin Roast to a Perdue Oven Ready Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken. For dinner I prepared a Perdue Oven Ready Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken w/ Potato Pancakes, Cut Green Beans, and Baked Harvest Grain Bread.

 

 

I had tried the Perdue Oven Ready Whole Seasoned Roaster Chicken once before, it’s tough finding these though. Kroger is the only one that I have found that carries them, and there’s only one Kroger at that has them from time to time. These are great, a real easy way to prepare a Whole Roasted Chicken. To prepare it preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cut open the outer bag and remove roaster, sealed in cooking bag. Place it in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up.Cut open outer bag and remove roaster, sealed in cooking bag. Place it in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Cut one small 1″ slit in cooking bag over the breast to vent during cooking. Place pan with roaster (still in cooking bag) on lower shelf of oven and roast for approximately 90-115 minutes, until internal temperature of the breast reaches 180ºF. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut open cooking bag (use care to avoid hot steam and juices) and transfer roaster to serving plate or cutting board. Remove string from legs before carving. Remaining juices in bag can be used for a delicious seasoned gravy. The full instructions are at the end of the post. It can’t get much easier! Little mess to clean up and one mouth – watering delicious Roasted Chicken! Tender, moist, well seasoned, and browns up perfect. Huge Chicken (see the picture), plenty of great leftovers for lunch also!

 

 
For sides I heated up a can of Walmart Brand Cut Green Beans, a bit cheaper price wise than Del Monte and same taste. Also I had some of the Manischewitz Potato Pancake Mix leftover from the other night so I prepared some more of the Potato Pancakes. Then, while at Kroger this morning, I picked up a Petite Loaf of Kroger Private Selection Harvest Grain Bread that I baked. Another good choice meal for a cool Autumn Day! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.
