To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook Super Easy Provençal Inspired Roast Chicken using 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

One of my favorite chicken preparations is this Provençal-inspired roast chicken because it makes great use of four ingredients I almost always have on hand (chicken, tomatoes, olives, herbs) and really is such a simple, elegant and delicious dish that is just too easy not to make. It's most commonly made in a stew-type preparation, but we really enjoy the taste and texture of the roasted veg alongside the chicken. And even though it's not super brothy, you do get a delicious pan sauce that's perfect for sopping with crusty bread. You can make this with canned tomatoes if/when you can't get your hands on decent fresh ones, but, it's an extra special treat when you can make it with sweet, flavorful fresh ones like the kind I lucked into on clearance at the market over the weekend. The yellow grape tomatoes were specially delicious roasted. This recipe is for 4 to 6. My photo is a scaled down version. You can easily halve this recipe to make less. Taking your ingredients out of the fridge 30 to 45 minutes before cooking in order to bring them up in temperature will create less steam and result in a better roast, but it certainly won't be the end of dinner if you don't have time. To keep it crowd-friendly for those with more finicky or less developed palates, you might like to stick with safer herbs like parsley and thyme.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Take to make Super Easy Provençal Inspired Roast Chicken:

1. 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces, patted dry
2. 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
3. 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into sixths
4. 6 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
5. 3/4 cup well drained olives (salty black ones or Kalamata types are typical, but I use whatever's on hand)
6. 1 lemon, half cut into 1/4-inch thick slices, the other half juiced
7. 2-2.5 teaspoons kosher salt (depending on how salty your olives and how salty you like your food)
8. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
9. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or basil
10. 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)
11. 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions to make to make Super Easy Provençal Inspired Roast Chicken

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. 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.)
3. Get in there with your hands and gently toss all the ingredients together to evenly distribute the seasoning.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

It's those tiny measures you take towards your goal of cooking well balanced meals for the family that will matter a lot more than any leap. Before you understand it that you may find that you all have greater energy and a better understanding of general wellbeing than you'd have envisioned before changing up your cooking habits.
