Single-Serve Roast Dinner Recipe

British · Main course · 70 min total

A complete roast dinner for one, featuring juicy roast chicken, crispy roast potatoes, carrots, and a rich gravy, all cooked in a small baking dish.

Ingredients

• 1 chicken thigh, bone-in, skin-on (about 6 oz)
• 1 small potato (about 5 oz), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, toss potato and carrot chunks with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Place in a small baking dish (about 6x8 inches).
3. Season chicken thigh with salt and pepper. Place skin-side up on top of vegetables.
4. Roast for 45-50 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and potatoes are tender and golden.
5. Remove chicken and vegetables to a plate; keep warm. Pour pan drippings into a small saucepan (leave about 1 tablespoon in the dish).
6. Place the baking dish over medium heat, add broth and flour, whisk until smooth. Add butter and any accumulated juices from the plate. Cook, stirring, until gravy thickens, about 2 minutes.
7. Serve chicken and vegetables with gravy poured over.

Tips

• For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting.
• Substitute chicken breast (6 oz) for a leaner option; adjust cooking time to 30-35 minutes.
• Add a side of steamed green beans or peas for color.
