Roasted Chicken

Tonight we had Roasted Chicken with Risotto, Slow-Cooker Green Beans, and Dill-Cheese Biscuits for Andy's birthday dinner. The entertainment was provided by AC and Lizzie, so we laughed a lot! Bone-in chicken breasts were on sale at the grocery store, so I decided to slow-roast them in the oven. The meat was very tender and flavorful. Enjoy!
