3 dishes: Unstuffed Cabbage (a play on stuffed cabbage) as your Appetizer, Roasted Garlic Chicken as the main, Corn & Tomato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette as the side.

Roasted Garlic Chicken
You will need a roasting pan or baking dish
Small aluminum pan and tin foil
Small mixing bowl
1 chicken…I use a chicken cut into 8ths but I know people have preferences so really any cut of chicken works but ideally you would want bone-in skin on, if not then use chicken stock to make up for it

Olive Oil (or extra virgin…I’ll talk about the difference)
Balsamic Vinegar
Garlic Powder
