Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub chicken inside and out with one garlic half. Place both garlic halves and the tarragon sprigs in cavity. Stir together butter, shallot, chopped tarragon. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Loosen skin of chicken near cavity with hands; spread butter mixture under skin all over flesh.
- Squeeze juice from lemon halves over chicken; place in cavity. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Halve the large onions horizontally at an angle. Arrange in the middle of a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan to form a square. Position halves so that the slanted ends of each pair face each other, inward, and almost touch. Place chicken, breast side up, on onion "rack."
- Quarter the small onions; arrange with carrots, celery, and potatoes around bird. Tuck lemon slices between wings and breast, and legs and breast. Pour wine and stock over vegetables.
- Roast chicken and vegetables, basting 2 or 3 times with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken thigh registers 165 degrees and juices run clear, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove pan from oven, and let chicken stand 10 minutes. Carve chicken. Arrange chicken and roasted vegetables (including rack onions) on a platter. Spoon pan juices over meat.
TARRAGON AND LEMON ROAST CHICKEN
This stress-free dish is based on one of my favorite flavor pairings-golden roast chicken and tarragon. The chicken is simply seared on the cooktop, then placed in the oven to bake with zingy lemon, garlic, fresh fennel and tarragon for just 25 minutes. That's dinner, done!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a medium-large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, and lay the pieces in the pan rounded-side down first (the side that had the skin). Cook the chicken, turning only once, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to an oven-proof dish, reserving the skillet. Place the chicken to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 170 to 75 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour the vermouth into the reserved skillet, scraping up any browned bits that cling to the pan with a wooden spoon, and cook over medium heat until the liquid reduces by about half. Add the chicken broth and continue to cook until slightly thickened.
- In a small bowl whisk a teaspoon or so of cold water with the cornstarch, then whisk the mixture into the broth and bring to a full boil. Remove from heat and add the zest, lemon juice, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the chicken from the oven. Pour any pan drippings from the chicken into the sauce and stir to combine. Divide the chicken pieces between 4 plates. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.

LEMON TARRAGON CHICKEN
This is yummy, quick and easy. I got the recipe from Publix Apron's Simple Meals series. I used flour instead of cornstarch and added a little bit more wine because I had a little more chicken. You can also use fresh tarragon if you have it. I served this with orzo with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli. I just added the sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli to the water that the orzo was boiling in. Very easy side dish.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken cooks evenly, truss it before roasting. This will help the chicken hold its shape and cook evenly throughout.
- Don't overcrowd the roasting pan. If the chicken and vegetables are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
- Roast the chicken and vegetables at a high temperature for the first 20 minutes. This will help to brown the chicken and caramelize the vegetables.
- Lower the temperature after 20 minutes and continue to roast the chicken and vegetables until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Lemon Tarragon Roast Chicken with Vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted to perfection and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. The lemon and tarragon add a bright and tangy flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
