Roasted Dinner for Two

I haven't seen much of my roommate lately because of our busy schedules, and I wanted to make her a nice dinner since she doesn't get them without me too often!

Roasted Apples and Potatoes
6 medium sized red potatoes
1 honey crisp apple
10 cipollini onions
1 slice of lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
salt
pepper
a pinch of sage
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put your washed potatoes with olive oil in an 8x8 dish or on your favorite baking sheet. I sliced mine in half and then in thirds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, add your sliced onions, and drizzle on your vinegar. Roast the potatoes and onions for 20 minutes.
Cut your apple in to 1 cm thin slices. Coat with lemon juice to prevent browning. Add honey, salt, oil, and sage to the apples and mix with hands. After the 20 minute roast, add the apples to the top and continue to roast for an additional 10 minutes.




Roasted Lemon Rosemary Chicken
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
6 slices of lemon
2 long sticks of rosemary
olive oil
salt
pepper

Oil the bottom of your foil lined baking sheet, and place your chicken on top. Oil the chicken, and add your salt and pepper. Lay down your slices of lemon, and lay the rosemary across the chicken breasts. Roast in the same oven as your potatoes and apples; the rosemary will perfume the whole oven and house! This should roast for about 40 minutes, or until done.



I also made a nice focaccia today, so I'd serve that with it too!
