In this week’s meal plan, I am leaning into fast, simple dinners that I can have on the table in a flash, like Baked Miso Salmon or my go-to Bolognese Sauce.
1
Roasted Chicken with Gravy
This Roasted Chicken with Gravy recipe is so delicious that I probably make it once a fortnight! Chicken, potatoes and carrots are flavoured with lemon, herbs and garlic, then cooked together in the oven in one pan. The prep takes just 10 minutes of your time and the oven does the rest of the work. A gorgeous gravy is quickly and easily made at the end from the pan juices, chicken stock and flour, which takes the eating experience to the next level.
