Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil all over the potatoes. Sprinkle the garlic powder and some salt and pepper on top. Toss with your hands to coat all sides of the potatoes with the oil and seasoning. Bake, rotating the pan and flipping the potatoes halfway through, until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the remaining teaspoon olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper onto the chicken breasts and gently pat it down with your fingers. Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and reduce the heat to low.
- Melt the butter in the skillet then sprinkle flour on top of the butter. Whisk to cook off the raw flour taste, 1 minute, then carefully add the chicken stock, vigorously whisking. Add the lemon zest and juice. Let cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the asparagus to the pot and cook until the asparagus has softened but is still bright green, about 7 minutes.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet and cook to ensure it's cooked thoroughly, another 3 minutes. Coat the chicken with sauce from the pan.
- Place 1 piece of chicken on each of 2 plates, then divide the roasted potatoes between the plates next to the chicken. Place half of the asparagus on each plate and drizzle some sauce on top. Use the juice of the remaining lemon half on top of the dish if you desire more lemon flavor.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
- Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
- Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
- Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
- To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PARSLEY POTATOES AND ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- To prepare the potatoes: Up to 3 hours before mealtime, finely chop 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Cut the potatoes in half (or quarters, if they are large) and place on a baking pan. Drizzle the lemon juice and half of the melted butter over the potatoes and toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until ready to cook.
- To prepare the chicken: Up to 3 hours before mealtime, reach inside the chicken cavity and remove the assorted parts and discard. (Often the innards are packed in a small package and placed inside the main cavity. Sometimes these are placed in the neck cavity, so be sure to check there, too.) Rinse the chicken well and pat dry. Cut off any visible fat around the cavities. Place the chicken in a baking pan with the breast side facing up. Remove the large stems from the remaining parsley and place the leaves in the cavity with the rosemary sprigs. Brush the outside of the chicken with a little of the remaining butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- To prepare the asparagus: Break off the ends of the asparagus, place in a saucepan, and add about 1/2 inch of water. (Alternatively, if you have a microwave, place on a microwave-safe serving plate or shallow bowl. Add a few tablespoons of water and cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap.) Refrigerate until ready to cook.
- One and one-half hours before mealtime, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- One hour and 15 minutes before mealtime, remove the plastic from the chicken and place on the top rack in the oven.
- One hour before mealtime, remove the plastic wrap from the potatoes and place on the lower rack in the oven.
- Thirty minutes before mealtime, brush the remaining butter over the chicken and stir the potatoes.
- Fifteen minutes before mealtime, remove the chicken from the oven and poke a fork into the thigh to make sure the juices are not pink. If the juices run clear, cover with aluminum foil and let stand for 10 minutes. If they are pink, return it to the oven for 10 more minutes, or until the juices run clear.
- Ten minutes before mealtime, place the saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. (Alternatively, cook the asparagus in the microwave on high heat for 5 minutes, or until tender.) Drain off the water.
- Place the whole chicken in the center of a serving plate and arrange the potatoes and asparagus around the chicken.
ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES
Make this your go-to recipe any time roasted vegetables are on the menu. The technique will work for any high-moisture vegetable, and the process of cutting your selected vegetables into 1-inch pieces allows them all to cook at the same rate. The optional garlicky yogurt sauce turns a pan of roasted veggies into a light meal, especially when paired with some crusty bread or a bowl of rice or other grains, or you can serve these as a colorful side dish.

Steps:
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Add the vegetables to a rimmed sheet pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the salt, pepper and thyme (if using), and gently toss vegetables to coat. Use your hands to spread the vegetables out into one layer, spacing them evenly all over the pan.
- Transfer to the oven and roast until they are tender and browned, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring at least once during roasting for even cooking.
- While vegetables roast, you can make yogurt sauce if you like: In a small bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Serve roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt, if desired, and a drizzle of oil on top.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pour the olive oil into a large roasting tin and add the potatoes, olives, lemon quarters, bay leaves and garlic. Toss everything together so it's coated in oil and evenly distributed. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side up, and season.
- Put the roasting tin in the oven and roast for 1 hr, basting with the pan juices halfway through cooking. After 1 hr, check that the potatoes are soft and the chicken is cooked through, then return to the oven for a final 15 mins to crisp the chicken skin.
- Remove the roasting tin from the oven. Press down on the roasted garlic cloves with the back of a spoon, discard the skins, and mix the mashed garlic with the meat juices. Serve with watercress or your favourite salad leaves on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken weighing 3 to 4 pounds is ideal for this recipe. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Season the chicken generously: Use a flavorful combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper. You can also add a citrus marinade for extra flavor.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy, golden brown skin. Start the chicken at a high temperature (425°F) for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space around the chicken and vegetables so that they can roast evenly.
- Toss the vegetables halfway through cooking: This will help them to brown evenly.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately: This is when they are at their best.
Conclusion:
This is a simple but delicious recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted chicken is moist and flavorful, and the new potatoes and asparagus are a perfect accompaniment. The recipe is also relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own preferences. For example, you can use different herbs and spices to season the chicken, or you can add other vegetables to the roasting pan, such as carrots or Brussels sprouts.
