Whats a good side dish recipe to go with roasted chicken?

Broccoli, rice and cheese casseroleWhats a good side dish recipe to go with roasted chicken?
At this time of year I'd go with roasted vegetables, using the great fall vegetables that are in season. You can choose a variety of whatever you like -- and include some good potatoes (fingerling, or yukon gold, or baby bliss....) You can season them easily, by drizzling olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and seasonings that you'll be using on the chicken (or that go well with them). Or, mix some olive oil and seasonings in a ziplock bag, add the vegetables, and shake to coat. Put all vegetables in a rimmed baking sheet, preferably in a single layer, and roast for about an hour at 425, depending on your oven, the type of vegetables used, and how soft/al dente you want them.

Roasted Asparagus


For 4 servings of roasted (baked) asparagus purchase approximately 1 pound of asparagus.


Place the asparagus in a colander and rinse thoroughly.


Allow the asparagus to drain thoroughly.


Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.


Tear off a piece of aluminum foil and line a jelly roll pan.


Spray the jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray.


Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place the asparagus tips neatly in the prepared jelly roll pan.


Do not allow the asparagus tips to overlap as this will steam the asparagus rather than bake or roast them.


Spray the asparagus tips with olive oil flavored nonstick cooking spray.


Season with salt and pepper.


Place the pan of asparagus tips in the preheated oven.


Bake until a light golden brown and tender-crisp. This should take about 15 minutes.


Use a pancake spatula to neatly arrange the asparagus tips onto a vertical serving dish or platter.


Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus, if desired.











[edit] TipsTo roast rather than bake the asparagus preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Follow the above directions and bake the asparagus at the higher temperature. This method is a little quicker, produces crispier asparagus tips, but can warp the baking pan.


At the grocery store select asparagus that is stored in a vertical position and kept in a pan of fresh water.


Choose fresh, green looking asparagus for the best tasting vegetable.


Avoid dry or old looking asparagus.


Asparagus will naturally break off the woody tip if you hold the asparagus in your hand and use the other hand to break the tip off.


You do not have to line the baking pan with aluminum foil, but this makes for easy clean-up.


Use a roasting pan to prepare 2 pounds of baked (roasted) asparagus.

A simple, inexpensive dish if you enjoy sweet potatoes is whipped sweet potatoes with cinnamon butter. Just bake the sweet potatoes (unpeeled) until soft then scoop out the insides and whip them with a mixer, adding a little salt and pepper. For the final touch, mix together soft margarine and cinnamon to your taste, and either mix in with the bowl of potatoes or garnish each serving if you're plating ahead of time.
