To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook super easy provençal inspired roast chicken using 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Super Easy Provençal Inspired Roast Chicken:
- Get 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces, patted dry
- Make ready 6 ripe med tomatoes, cut into sixths. If using some or all grape tomatoes like I did, 8 to 10 of them equal one regular tomato - no need to cut them
- Prepare 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into sixths
- Make ready 6 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
- Make ready 3/4 cup well drained olives (salty black ones or Kalamata types are typical, but I use whatever's on hand)
- Make ready 1 lemon, half cut into 1/4-inch thick slices, the other half juiced
- Make ready 2-2.5 teaspoons kosher salt (depending on how salty your olives and how salty you like your food)
- Prepare 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Get 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or basil
- Prepare optional: up to 2 tsp dried herbes de provence (or any combination of the herbs that go into it, if you don't have the specific blend: basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, fennel, lavender, savory)
- Prepare 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Put cut celery in cavity, and then salt/peppered all over. Some flour with the oils, then chicken broth and all the browned bits from the pan and juices from carving. This was my first roast chicken. Rinse the chicken, then dry it very well with paper towels, inside and out.
Instructions to make Super Easy Provençal Inspired Roast Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Place all ingredients in a large roasting pan or baking dish, except for the lemon slices, finishing by sprinkling the salt, pepper and herbs as evenly as reasonably possible over the entire area. (This reduces the amount of tossing/jostling of ingredients needed to evenly distribute the seasoning.)
- Get in there with your hands and gently toss all the ingredients together to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Pull the chicken pieces and distribute them evenly atop the vegetables, skin side up. Distribute the lemon slices atop a few of the chicken pieces.
- Roast the chicken in the middle rack of the oven for 30 minutes, then move to the next rack up to encourage browning on the skin for another 45 minutes.
- That's it! - - I like to serve it with slices of crusty bread on the side for a super easy and complete meal, and the soft, sweet roasted garlic is specially delicious when paired with a little butter on that bread. - - And in warm weather like we've been having, we find a chilled Sauv Blanc or Pinot Gris/Grigio is a perfect way to wash it down.
The less it steams, the drier the heat, the better. This Chicken Provencal with Shallots and Garlic is one of the best and easiest French chicken recipes you'll find. The chicken is first coated with flour, then seared to golden brown and finally pan roasted to perfection, with shallots, garlic, wine and plenty of Herbs de Provence. A simple roast chicken is the perfect Sunday dinner. Tender, juicy roasted chicken has it all.
