Let’s make it

Amounts below match your selected batch. Follow each short step, and use timers as reminders to check the food.

Equipment

Oven · Two rimmed baking trays · Separate cutting boards · Knife · Kitchen scale · Food thermometer · Clean serving plate

  1. 1

    Heat the oven and prepare vegetables

    Heat the oven to 425°F / 220°C. Scrub 800 g (about 4 medium potatoes, skin on) potatoes and cut into 2 cm pieces. Scrub 300 g (about 5 medium carrots, trimmed) carrots and cut into short batons about 1 cm thick. Wash 240 g spinach and mince 12 g garlic. Set out two rimmed trays so vegetables can roast in a single layer.

  2. 2

    Give the vegetables a head start

    Toss potatoes and carrots with 20 g oil and 1 g salt on one tray. Spread out and roast for 15 minutes. Use more trays for a larger batch, allowing extra time and turning trays as needed.

  3. 3

    Prepare the chicken separately

    Prepare vegetables before chicken. Do not rinse raw poultry. Use a separate board for raw chicken, keep it and its juices away from ready-to-eat food, and wash hands and clean utensils and surfaces afterward. Pat 600 g chicken dry with disposable towel and flatten thick areas to an even 2 cm thickness. Put on the second tray and coat with 10 g oil, prepared garlic, 2 g oregano and 1 g salt. Wash hands and clean raw-poultry equipment afterward.

  4. 4

    Roast and check

    Turn the potatoes and carrots and put the chicken tray in the oven. Roast both for about 18–25 minutes more, checking chicken from 18 minutes. Check several thick pieces with a food thermometer: every checked piece must reach 165°F / 74°C. Time and color do not establish doneness. Cook longer and recheck if needed; use clean utensils and a clean plate for cooked chicken. Remove safe cooked chicken to a clean plate; continue vegetables until fork-tender and browned, about 35–45 minutes total. Keep the chicken covered briefly while vegetables finish.

  5. 5

    Wilt spinach and serve

    Once potatoes and carrots are tender, fold the prepared spinach into their hot tray and return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, until wilted. Slice chicken with clean utensils and divide it and the roasted vegetables among the selected portions.

Make it work for you

For kids & different preferences

Shred chicken finely across the grain and keep it moist; cook vegetables until soft and cut or mash food to suit your child’s development. Cool before serving. Young children should sit upright and be supervised while eating, never in a moving car or stroller. This is a meal for general use, not infant-feeding guidance.

Storage & packed lunches

Refrigerate promptly in shallow containers within 2 hours of cooking, or within 1 hour above 90°F / 32°C. Keep at 40°F / 4°C or colder and use within 3–4 days. For packed lunches keep cold with ice packs until eaten.

Freezing & reheating

Freeze cooled portions promptly in airtight containers for up to 2 months for quality. Thaw in the refrigerator; vegetables and grains may soften.

Reheat leftovers to 165°F / 74°C throughout, stirring and checking several places with a food thermometer. Add a small splash of tap water if dry.

If something looks different

A larger batch needs larger or additional pans and may take longer. Keep chicken in an uncrowded layer and use temperature and vegetable tenderness, rather than the clock alone.
