Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Ensure the chicken is cleaned and patted dry with paper towels. Place the chicken on a roasting pan or a large baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Brush the melted garlic butter all over the chicken, making sure to cover the entire surface, including under the skin if possible.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin cubes, red pepper slices, and red onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Halfway through the roasting, add the trimmed asparagus to the pan, ensuring it's well distributed among the other vegetables.
- About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the chicken.
- Continue roasting for the remaining time, allowing the Parmesan to form a golden, crispy crust.
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken and vegetables from the oven.
- Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving to ensure the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Carve the chicken and serve with the roasted vegetables, distributing the delicious Parmesan crust pieces evenly.
Tips:
- Make sure the chicken is at room temperature before roasting to ensure even cooking.
- You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispier crust, broil the chicken for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking.
- If you prefer, other vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, and parsnips can be added or substituted.
- Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes after roasting to retain its juices and make it easier to carve.
Parmesan-crusted roast chicken is not only mouth-wateringly delicious but also a wholesome meal that's simple to prepare. The tender chicken, enhanced by the crispy parmesan crust, along with an array of flavorful roasted vegetables, make for a perfect dinner that everyone will enjoy.
