Italian Seasoned Roast Chicken and Salad


A while ago I saw a lovely roast chicken on Ruth's blog I love Flavor Me, I adore her blog she is also a sweet person living in Italy the same company Ariosto from Italy contacted me about trying their seasonings. I thought sure why not there was a novelty about getting seasonings from Italy!

They came in a cute box, that looked like a book. So I roasted chicken legs as suggested in the chicken mix and potatoes in the potato seasoning and had a tasty salad with it.

The salad was a mixture of raspberries, cucumber, lettuce and cherry tomato with olive oil and balsamic vinegar topped with the yummy chaumes cheese.

I would say the chicken was tasty but don't use too much its quite salty in my dietitian opinion. But I had fun making it and will use them again but maybe not so liberally!


Have a great weekend all and don't forget to comment on my last post Chaumes and Sumac Spiced Salad to win some Turkish spices from Istanbul's Ancient Spice Bazaar.


Love

    Getting spices from Italy sounds seriously romantic. If they could send a nice virile Italian man also, I would be okay with that.

    The chicken looks good! But I'm really all over that salad! yum.

    Yeah many prepacked seasonings (mixed) are more proportioned to have more salt, in a way a cheaper way to sell more, more money- Your plate looks great!

    I try to avoid salt, but sometimes the seasonings is so good I let it go and use it. This one sounds delicious.

    How fun getting spices from Italy! My daughter would love this, she would always choose Italian seasoning to add to her potatoes, mac & cheese, chicken or whatever else she wanted to try to cook. It looks good!

    Great looking dish, I love it all.
    I'm also quite careful about salt intake, so I try to avoid this kind of mixtures or at least use them moderately.

    Lovely. Hard to be a roast chicken with anything! Do you serve the chicken warm or cool with the salad? A perfect summer option!
    Well done!
