The beginning of fall signals cool nights, comfy sweaters and awesome comfort foods. Chicken is naturally carb free and fills the house with warm smells with the light tang of citrus and rosemary. Stuffing the chicken with cooking apples adds a little sweetness but apples are discarded after roasting. Pair this with your favourite root vegetable and a glass of Pinot Noir.
