Instructions to make Vickys Full Roast Chicken Dinner with Sides and Leftover Ideas, Gluten, Dairy, Egg & Soy-free:

1. Preheat oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400°F
2. Wash and pat dry the chicken. Push your fingers gently under the skin and over the back of the chicken to loosen, then push 2 tbsp of dairy-free spread under the skin on top of the flesh
3. Season with chicken seasoning and put in the oven. It needs to cook for 40 minutes per kilo
4. Wash the potatoes and peel if you like, then halve them or quarter if they're really big and place in a pan of salted cold water with the peeled and halved parsnips
5. Peel the swede and dice, then place in another pan of salted water
6. Prepare the sprouts by cutting off the hard stem, peeling off the outer leaves and cutting a shallow cross into the stem so it cooks. Again, place in a pan of salted water
7. Place the baby carrots in, you guessed it, a pan of salted water. If you want to roast them instead, put them in with the potatoes and follow the parsnip instructions
8. After a quarter of the roasting time has passed, take the chicken out and baste it in the butter and juices, then put back into the oven
9. The potatoes and parsnips need to boil for 4 minutes, then drain. Rough the potatoes up a little by tossing them in a colander. Sprinkle with some flour then coat both the potatoes and parsnips with a good spray of oil, season with salt, pepper and any other herbs/spices you prefer and roast for 15 minutes. Turn then roast a further 15 minutes. Turn once more then roast for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy. You should put these in the bottom of the oven 40 minutes before the chicken is ready. When the chicken comes out to rest, move them to the top shelf
10. Baste your chicken again at the halfway cooking time, then again at 3/4 cooking time, then get the rest of the veg and stuffing ready to cook
11. The swede needs to boil for 25 minutes. The sprouts and carrots just need 6 minutes.
12. The stuffing is easy. Start it after the chicken comes out to rest at the same time you put the sprouts and carrots on to boil. In a microwavable bowl, put the oatmeal, onion, milk, a good glug of oil and a tsp each salt & pepper. Mix well then cover and vent. Cook on high for 6 minutes stirring halfway through.
13. The chicken is ready! Take it off the roasting tray, cover and set aside. Move the roasting veg up in the oven. Drain the swede and mash it with a good amount of sunflower spread and salt & pepper / seasoning to taste. I like to add a little nutmeg. Drain the sprouts and melt over a knob of sunflower spread. You can stir in some chopped cooked bacon, chopped chestnuts or flaked almond to dress them if you like. Drain the carrot and glaze with syrup or honey.
14. Spoon the excess fat from the juices left on the chicken roasting tray. Stir in a heaped dessertspoon of flour and bring to boil on the hob, scraping the solids from the bottom of the tray. Strain through a sieve.
15. Take the roasted veg out of the oven and plate everything up! Enjoy
16. Check out the leftovers lol! An idea to use them :
17. Make a roux from equal amounts of sunflower spread and flour. Add rice, oat or almond milk to make a basic white sauce. Season with salt & pepper and chop up some chunks of chicken, carrot and sprouts and mix through. Mix some mashed swede in too. Even throw some dairy-free cheese in!
18. Make a pie! Here I used 3 squares of filo pastry (see my gluten-free recipe on my profile), each square buttered with another square placed on top but the opposite way round, then a final square on top of that to make a 6 pointed star shape
19. Shred and mix together the leftovers and place in the centre of the pastry, then fold in the corners so the filling is encased
20. For filo, shortcrust or puff, bake at gas 4 / 180C / 350°F for 25-30 mins or until golden
21. Make soup! Use any leftover chicken in my Roast Chicken & Rice soup - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/349824-vickys-roast-chicken-rice-soup-gluten-dairy-egg-soy-nut-free

Dark soy, ginger and honey give this chicken noodle soup a fragrant Chinese flavour and pieces of leftover roast chicken are optional (the stock should be potent enough that you don't need it). When our time is short but the hunger is too real, we turn to the chicken dinner. Top with crispy tortilla chips, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream and dinner is done! This chicken and rice casserole is a great weeknight supper for the family because it's filling and simple to make. Your whole family will be singing your praises after making them this perfect roast chicken.

Foods That Can Make Your Mood Better

A lot of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we need to stay away from them. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to consume. There are some foods that actually can improve your moods when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at beating back depression. You must be sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the most essential part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, particularly the yolks, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to improve your mood. This is because they help in improving the function of your neural transmitters, the components of your brain that affect your mood. Try consuming a few eggs to jolly up!

Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” chemical substance and it tells your brain how you should be feeling all the time. The higher your serotonin levels, the happier you will feel. Nuts, in addition to bettering your mood, can be a superb protein source.

If you wish to beat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you overcome your depression.

Some grains are really wonderful for fighting off bad moods. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, which is a mood improver. It’s not difficult to feel depressed when you feel hungry! The reason these grains can improve your mood is that they are easy to digest. You digest these grains more quickly than other foods which can help boost your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You knew green tea had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a certain amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to get healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that it can help improve your mood also!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
