Garlic ginger chicken breast and rosemary roasted vegetables


Finished meal, so delicious!!


So I usually decide I want to make dinner and then sit on the internet for about 10 minutes looking at recipes until I finally give up because every single one of them has something I don't have in my kitchen and end up making up my own. Tonight I made garlic ginger chicken and rosemary roasted veggies and they were DELICIOUS! (and healthy!).



Garlic ginger chicken
- Chicken breast, I used two frozen ones, thawed.
- olive oil
- garlic, I used my minced dollar tree garlic
- ginger, I used my minced jarred ginger
- soy sauce ($1 @ dollar tree)

First I thawed the chicken breast and then laid them in the bottom of a glass baking dish. I rubbed them with a little olive oil and sprinkled them with pepper and some chicken seasoning I found laying around (don't think this is necessary). I then made up a little sauce with a couple teaspoons of soy sauce, a spoonful of garlic, and a little spoonful of ginger and about a teaspoon of olive oil and mixed this well.

I topped the chicken with this sauce (only half of it), and put them in the oven at 350.
After 15 minutes I flipped the chicken and put the other half of the mix on the other side and put them back in the oven. I'm not positive how long I actually cooked them for after that, I just watched until they were done and checked them. About 35 minutes total. They were moist and flavorful and delicious!



Rosemary Roasted Vegetables 
- Veggies. I used 1 sweet potato, 1/2 regular potato, 3 carrots, and a little bit of cauliflower I had left over. All cut into bite size pieces (and I peeled the carrots and sweet potato).
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic (optional)
- Rosemary

Prepare the veggies by cutting them in bite size pieces. Put them in a baking dish and toss with olive oil. Then season I used minced garlic, liberally shook rosemary on them, and then some salt and pepper.


Put them in the oven at 350 (I cooked them at the same time as the chicken), and let cook. Every once in a while shake the dish or stir the veggies. These took about the same amount of time as the chicken (35 minutes). I wish I could take a picture of the delicious smell (and taste) that these had!


Enjoy!
