24 Oct Paleo & Whole30 Roasted Chicken in Coconut Milk

So I bought this whole chicken because it was on sale and I felt obligated to take it home and make it into something tasty. I must confess,  I hate dealing with meat on bones, especially chicken. Has anyone else ever shed a tear when cooking a whole chicken? Maybe it’s me. I’m a crier, apparently. I never would have labeled myself as such, but I think it might be true. Reservations aside, I made this Whole30 Roasted Chicken in Coconut Milk in my new Caribbean Blue Lodge Dutch Oven, and it was delicious! Because it’s cooked in a delicious vat of coconut milk, it came out super juicy and tender, unlike my past roasted chicken endeavors.

I found this recipe, originally titled Chicken in Milk, on Jaime Oliver’s food blog. It didn’t take much tweaking to make it Paleo- and Whole30-compliant, and it was so easy to make! The combination of coconut milk, lemon zest, cinnamon and sage was unbelievably delicious. We were working outside today, so I just popped everything in the Dutch Oven and let it go, basting it with the juices whenever I passed through the kitchen.

Here’s the Whole30 Roasted Chicken in Coconut Milk recipe.

Did I mention how tender and juicy this chicken is? I served it over some Paleo & Whole30 Plantain Rice (recipe coming soon!), and the entire dish was pure perfection!

I was so excited when I got my Dutch Oven that I made two meals in it the very first day! A couple more easy and delicious recipes to try in it are my Paleo & Whole30 Chicken Cacciatore and Paleo & Whole30 Habanero Salsa Chicken.
