Answer 2

While you are cooking the chicken in the oven. Wash all the ingredients you have ( potatoes, Green and red peppers) cut the potatoes about 11/2 in x 1 1/2 in cubes, place in a baking tray, finely chop some garlic sprinkle them on top of the potatoes, sprinkle oil on top ( whatever you have canola or olive oil). Sprinkle some salt qnd pepper. Put in the same oven as the chicken. When it is about half way done add the pepper tha has been oiled and salted. To the potato tray, back in the oven. Oil helps the salt to adhere to the food. This is all of matter of timing if you got it right the chicken will be done the same time as your side dish. You can save on gas at the same time.

Answer 3

Haricot Vert Almondine

Sautee up 1 finely sliced shallot in a about 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Then add 1 bunch of fresh French green beans (if you can't find them long green beans will work fine). Cook them until they are bring green adding a little salt and pepper. They take maybe 5 minutes, the top with sliced almonds you have toasted in the oven. It's great, and light.

I don't have a name for this, but it's something that I make often. Get par boiled rice and make according to the package directions for your amound but use chicken stock instead of water and double the amount of salt. As soon as it's finished add some butter, it's hard to say how much because I don't know how many serving you will be making, but 1 tbsp. per 4 servings sounds about right, you don't want it greasy, just a little richer. Then add in a few chopped scallions and serve with parm cheese. It's really good.

Answer 7

I have started having grilled field mushrooms, corn on the cob and aspargus with mine, also carrot mash or carrot and swede mash, it makes such a change to have these veggies with a roast instead of the normal cabbage, carrots, peas etc

Answer 8

how about a broccoli and cheese casserole? steamed veggies go well with grilled chicken.....

I grilled some chicken the other night and opened a bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower mix and steamed them and added some velvetta cheese and milk to make a cheese sauce and they were really good...

you can find those packets of different flavors of rice......rice pilaf would go well with grilled chicken......the cheesy broccoli rice is my favorite though....

how about creamed corn or corn on the cob? I think you can find those cobbettes in the frozen food section.....or just open a can of corn? For creamed corn...cook your corn until heated thoroughly and then add a bit of milk....in a small container with a lid, pour about 1/4 cup of milk and add about a couple teaspoons of flour and shake it up really well and pour it into the corn and milk....salt and pepper....as it cooks the sauce should thicken..

open a can of peas or cook frozen peas and spice to your liking?

how about cooked carrots?

green beans makes a nice side dish....

macaroni and cheese goes good with just about anything :)

Answer 9

Carrots baked in with the roast are very good. I've seen brussel sprouts baked in the oven as well (not with a roast, just on a pan by themselves) and have been anxious to try them.

Answer 10

Fetticini Alfredo with broccoli
