Chicken Roast with Potatoes and cauliflower and Garlic Bread and Bread Cream Soup

I have been putting this on hold for some time now. 

It's either got craving,  no time or no ingredients got time or got ingredients, got time but no craving...  And then everything falls into place and suddenly...  This happened.  :)

Let make Roast Chicken With Potatoes and Cauliflower and Garlic Bread and Bread Cream Soup.

Roast Chicken.

Ingredients :

1 small chicken
2 table spoon butter
1/2 lemon
1 whole garlic (cut off top and bottom side,  skin on)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Clean chicken,  pat dry,  inside and outside. Rub butter all over chicken.  Add salt and pepper to chicken, continue rubbing butter in and outside the chicken.  Rub butter in between the skin of chicken.  Stuff 1/2 lemon and garlic into chicken.  Let sit for 30 mins.

Roast for 20 mins (breast side up),  15 mins (breast side down)  and 15 mins (breast side up)  plus 5-10 mins to nicely brown at 200°c.

Fluffed Potatoes

4 medium size potatoes
2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon left over butter used to rub chicken

Method

Clean and cut potatoes into quarters.  I like to leave the skin on. Boil potatoes for 7-8 mins on high heat in salt water.  Drain,  shake vigorously in a collander to fluff.  Bake in the oven for 10 mins at 200°c. Add another 5 mins under the broiler.

Cauliflower

Heat the pot used to hold the chicken when rubbing with butter...  When all the left over butter is melted,  add cauliflower florets and flash fry until slightly browned.

Bread Soup

Ingredients :
3 cups hot water
2 sliced bread
3 tablespoon powdered cream

Bring water to boil,  add garlic,  salt and pepper.  Add bread.  Let bread soak up the liquid.  Blend till smooth.  Continue boiling until thick.
