Steps:
- Set a rack on the lower middle level of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the thyme sprigs, garlic, and one lemon half, squeezing the lemon as you insert it to release the juice into the cavity. Rub the butter all over the chicken skin, including undersides, then season once again with salt and pepper.
- Tie the ends of the drumsticks together with twine. Arrange the chicken breast-up on the rack in a roasting pan. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half over the top of the chicken. (You can toss the lemon half into the roasting pan or discard it.)
- Place the roasting pan in the oven. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. When the chicken is beginning to brown rapidly, baste with accumulated pan juices.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, and bay leaf to the roasting pan after 30 minutes. Continue roasting, basting several times, until the juices run clear when pierced at the thickest part of the thigh with a knife or if you tilt the chicken forward the juices that run out of the cavity are clear, an additional 45 to 60 minutes (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours total roasting time). Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest in a warm place to allow the juices to redistribute, about 15 minutes. To serve, remove the herbs and the lemon half from the cavity and discard. Reserve the garlic cloves and carve the chicken. Serve the chicken with the vegetables and reserved garlic cloves. (The bay leaf may be left for decoration or discarded.)
BAKED HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS
I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful.

A very easy, delicious chicken dish. It is much better if you use fresh herbs, but if you can't get them, dried herbs work too. A variation on the recipe found in The Kosher Palette.

WEEKNIGHT LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERBS
Boneless chicken breasts suffer a bad reputation, owing in large part to their propensity to dry out. The solution here is a lovely bath in an ample amount of olive oil, white wine and lemon, which seasons and tenderizes the chicken. Later, the marinade becomes an easy pan sauce once it cooks with the breasts. Use fresh herbs in the summer; in the winter, dried herbs will do the trick.

Steps:
- Season the chicken breasts all over with the salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to a gallon-size resealable freezer bag. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and the remaining ingredients, press out the air and seal the bag tightly so the chicken is fully submerged. Massage the chicken through the plastic bag to evenly distribute the herbs. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- In a large, deep skillet with a lid, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade, add to the skillet, then pour the lemons and marinade on top. Cook until the chicken is golden on one side, about 8 minutes. Turn the chicken, cover and cook over medium-low until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Serve chicken topped with lemons and sauce.

Steps:
- Combine fresh and dried herbs, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in food processor. When machine begins running, slowly pour in olive oil to form a thick emulsion.
- Transfer to a non-aluminum bowl or pan, add chicken, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 days, turning once or twice.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If planning to finish cooking on a charcoal grill, prepare a hot coal fire. Then, place chicken pieces skin-side up in a shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered until almost cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Finish cooking over a charcoal fire, or under a preheated broiler, turning once, until skin is well browned and meat is cooked and juicy, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs offer a more intense flavor than dried herbs. If you can, use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to cook chicken with herbs. Don't be afraid to try different combinations of herbs and spices to find what you like best.
- Cook chicken to the proper temperature: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that it is safe to eat.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
