One of my favorite dinners to cook, especially in the winter is roasted chicken. It never ceases to amaze me just how tender, juicy, and flavorful the meat is - so much better than boring chicken breasts! I bought a 7lb. bird for the two of us, and we thought we'd see just how many dinners we could make from 1 chicken.
Dinner #1 - Roasted chicken - a lemon half in the cavity for extra juiciness, garlic inside and underneath the skin, and thyme throughout. So delicious!

Dinner #2 - Grilled panini wrap with chicken breast, cayenne black beans, Wisconsin cheddar and a cucumber yogurt sauce - a really great contrast between hot and cool.

Dinner #3 - Rigatoni with chicken, grilled asparagus, Greek olives, and parmesan cheese. A simple dinner with a nice glass of wine is almost always my favorite.

Dinner #4 - Carrot and ginger soup made with chicken stock. I used 1 potato and 1 sweet potato to give the soup some thickness, and to my surprise, no cream was needed. Sprinkled with chives for the perfect topping.
