Moroccan Style Pot Roast Chicken

I was looking for an easy roast chicken recipe, low carb, low gluten and low number of dishes and this is what I came up with.  Super tasty.

Ingredients

• Celery
• Sweet potato
• Other hard veg (carrot, sweet, etc.) - Optional
• Chicken
• Lemon
• Tinned tomatos
• Chickpeas (I just used tinned ones)
• Cauliflower
• Other soft veg (beans, zucchini, etc.) - Optional
• Cummin
• Paprika
• Garam masala
• Garlic

 Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees C.
2. Chop up celery and hard veggies and fry them in a stove and oven safe pot (i.e. cast iron) with some olive oil and garlic.
3. Prep the chicken by putting the lemon inside it and rubbing some spices into the skin (you can add a little oil to help it stick) .
4. Add some spices to the veggies in the pot and cook a little longer.
5. Add the chicken on top of the bed of veggies and put in the oven with the lid on.
6. After about 40 min (or 25-30 min before the chicken is cooked if it is large) tip in the chickpeas and tomatos around the chicken and return to oven with lid on.
7. After a further 15 min add the coarsely chopped cauliflower (and other soft veggies) and return to oven with lid on.
8. Cook for a further 10-15 min until the cauliflower is cooked and serve
