Supper for 6 with separate meat and carbs

[Leavesfalling]

I need inspiration for a supper. Chicken and it needs to be able to be separate from the carbs. And most prep in advance and not too much cooking at the time as I usually get pissed and things go haywire if I to fry things etc. I dont know why I have such a block on this but I can't thing of a meal!

Traybake?

Casserole? I don’t understand how keeping meat and carbs separate is difficult-am I missing something?

Roast chicken? You can slow pot roast the chicken and prep all the veg in advance.

How about this, you could just not give potatoes to whoever doesn't want them? It's dead easy and really delicious and you could do with a green salad or green vegetables?

What is is hard about cooking the chicken separately from chosen carbs?

roast chicken, potatoes and steamed veg with gravy

Coq au vin?

Any sort of chicken casserole or traybake, served with rice or mashed potato which can easily be made and reheated/kept warm.

if you're a good cook, a roast chicken served with a pilaf and steamed veg that you've dressed with something or other.

Chicken curry, again, can be mostly prepared in advance and served with (optional) rice or bread.

Chicken stuffed with cheese and wrapped in pancetta. Serve with a cream, white wine and mustard sauce, crushed new potatoes with parsley, capers and butter, roasted carrots and green beans.

Chicken Kyiv is covered in breadcrumbs…..

I think this fits your brief, or any type of roast chicken. Also chicken tarragon, which is brilliant, easy and autumnal.

You can make a buerre blanc or white wine sauce for roast chicken, making the base ahead and adding the pan juices later.

I know not tricky per se but I can't think of something interesting or an interesting way to cook chicken.

That sounds good!

This Chicken Provencal is really simple but very tasty. Just serve mash or roasted baby potatoes on
the side.

Tray bake with red onion, garlic, peppers and courgette. About 20min from finish time of cooking at smoked paprika, dried oregano and cherry tomatoes. Roast a tray of new potatoes separately.
