When you’re getting back into the swing of work, school and all those other items on your weekly calendar, a simple dinner recipe can really be a lifesaver. In January, we tend to rely on a lot of tried-and-true dinner recipes (these are some of thego-to recipeswe lean on). And it seems like we’re about to add a new recipe from Lidia Bastianich to our regular rotation.

As Lidia wrote in her caption, it’s a family-favorite dish in the Bastianich household. With such simple directions and just eight ingredients (plus staples like salt, pepper and olive oil), it’s bound to be a favorite of any busy home cook.
This gorgeous, easy roast chicken recipe comes from Lidia’s most recent cookbook,Lidia’s From Our Family Table to Yours, which is packed with more than 100 family-friendly dishes including thisSpicy Crispy Roasted Cauliflower. (You can also see her make the recipe on her show,Lidia’s Kitchen, if itairs in your area.) But luckily for all of us, Lidia has also shared all the details onher website.

Pour in your white wine and chicken broth, then set your bird on top, with its wings tucked underneath. Roast the bird and veggies at 400°F for between 75 and 90 minutes. Baste once, when the chicken is about halfway cooked. When you think the chicken is ready, check the internal temperature with a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, without touching the bone. When it reads 165°F, the bird is ready to go. Simply let it rest on a cutting board for 15 minutes before dishing it up.Since you can serve the chicken with the pan sauce and the carrots and potatoes, you’ve basically got a complete meal ready to go in just one pan. If you want to round it out with another veggie dish to feed a crowd, make ourBalsamic-Parmesan Sautéed Spinachwhile the chicken rests. You could also pair the chicken with a flavorful salad, like ourPear, Gorgonzola & Walnut SaladorKale Salad with Balsamic & Parmesan.
