help! sides for roasted chicken

LynsiBHM

I am making a chicken dinner tonight. I don't cook a whole chicken often, but when I do, I do mashed potato and a veggie- sometimes stuffing, too. I am looking for something different. I'll still do a veggie (i'm thinking baked parmesan asparagus? maybe not?) but need a new carb. Any awesome potato dishes? Something else? Or is it un-american to steer away from mashed potatoes?

I always throw cut up potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions in while I cook it.  A complete meal with sides with barely any work!

Roasted red potatoes are always a hit around here.  Maybe a rice pilaf?

I  couldn't bring myself not to have mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, etc. lol  My mom is cooking a turkey dinner Wed and I can not wait!

I love rice with chicken- I like the Rice a Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice.  Boxed, but good!

Cheesy potato casserole. Ill use any excuse to make that. Hashbrowns, cream of chicken soup, onion, sour cream, cheese, salt and pepper. I posted it a while back but can find it if you are interested. It's delish.

I second the rice pilaf or the roasted potatoes.

Other suggestions:

roasted cauliflower, roasted asparagus, scallopped potatoes, cornbread casserole, zuchinni pancakes, stuffed mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, cheesy mashed potatoes, corn muffins, sweet potatoes

I'm a fan of mashed potatoes with roasted chickens. You could always fancy up the mashed potatoes by using dill cream cheese and chicken broth. I love cauliflower and cheese sauce, or green beans with a little lemon juice.

I love mashed potatoes! We usually sautee green beans with garlic.  YUM!
