Recipes With Grocery List | January 2013

Regardless of whether you're single, hitched, or somewhere in between, this "engagement chicken" — watch the video for the story behind the name and the recipe — is an excellent example of how a few simple ingredients can create a meal greater than the sum of its parts.

For this meal plan: roast the chicken as directed, subbing sprigs of fresh thyme for the mixed herbs (or use some combination of hearty herbs). Pair it with a simple side, like lemony steamed carrots, and reserve any leftovers for recipes later in the week.
