What is something to cook if you do not know what cook?

Here's a simple and delicious meal you can make even if you're not sure what to cook, along with some tips for making it your own:

One-Pan Roasted Chicken & Veggies

Ingredients:

* 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds), cut into 8 pieces (optional)

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

* 1 large onion, cut into wedges

* 2-3 carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks

* 1-2 potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

* 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prep the chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry. If you're using a whole chicken, cut it into 8 pieces.

3. Season the chicken: Rub the olive oil, salt, and pepper all over the chicken pieces.

4. Assemble the pan: Place the chicken, onions, carrots, potatoes, and broccoli in a large roasting pan.

5. Roast: Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

6. Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tips for Making it Your Own:

* Spice it up: Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or other spices to the chicken rub.

* Change the veggies: Use any vegetables you have on hand, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus.

* Add flavor: Drizzle a little lemon juice over the vegetables before roasting.

* Make it a meal: Serve with a side of rice or couscous.
