A new roast chicken recipe to send off summer
| No images? Click here Roast Chicken With Romesco and Creamy CornEasy weeknight dinners aren't just about finding recipes that can be made in under 30 minutes from start to finish. They're also not solely about cooking up huge batches of stew on the weekend so you can feed yourself the same exact meal every night of the coming week. Instead, we like to use made-in-advance building blocks to whip up easy and varied dinners on-demand. Here, we cook sweet summer corn in butter with thyme, leek, and white pepper to make the vegetable base of the meal. The romesco sauce, meanwhile, pulls double duty as both a sauce, but also a hearty ingredient that adds heft and substance to the meal. If you get those components prepared ahead of time, all you have to do for dinner is pop a chicken in the oven, and you'll have yourself a late summer weeknight dinner in no time.
