Cooking a whole chicken in a Dutch Oven with the lid on, or in parchment paper, keeps the meat extremely moist and juicy. You can use this method and add any type of seasonings you would like. Try garlic and fresh minced herbs (like sage, parsley, and rosemary), or spices like cumin and chipotle chili powder. Serve chicken with rice or riced cauliflower and steamed broccoli for a simple, nourishing family meal. I use a 9-quart enamel-lined cast iron Dutch Oven for this recipe. 

Ingredients
1 whole chicken (about 5 pounds)
1 large onions sliced
3 celery stalks chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoons black pepper
3 teaspoons turmeric powder

This was very good! It turns out my kids don't like whole chicken, though, so I guess I will learn to adapt it to making with breasts only if we have it again.

A little tidbit you might want to know…. If you get turmeric on your clothes put them out in the sun. In a few hours the stain will be gone.

I am going to make this dish tomorrow…New Years Day 2023.
