One Pot Chicken Dinner

Sometimes, I like it when my dinner makes itself -- which is exactly what happens when you throw all your veggies, potatoes and chicken into a le crueset dutch oven. Clean up is easy and everything is flavourfull. The amount of vegetables can be adjusted to suit your party.

One Pot Chicken Dinner

1 small roasting chicken (around 6 lbs)
fresh herbs -- thyme, rosemary and parsley
1 bunch carrots, chopped
1 stalk of celery
2 onions -- 1 quartered, 1 roughly chopped
12 button mushrooms
12 crimini mushrooms
12 small red potatoes
1/2 cup white wine
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

rub the chicken with olive oil, fresh herbs and salt and pepper. Inside cavity, place the 1 quartered onion, a few of the diced carrotes, the chopped celery stalk, and some more fresh herbs, salt and pepper.

line the bottom of a dutch over with the remaining carrots and onions. Place the chicken on top. Place the potatoes around the chicken. Pour the white wine in the bottom.

Cover with the lid and put in the oven at 350DegreesF and cook for one hour. Add the mushrooms and allow to cook until the chicken is done (about another 30minutes). Everything in the pot goes on the dinner plate!
