Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, thyme, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the chicken, potatoes, and onions to a large bowl. Pour the lemon spice mixture, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss thoroughly to combine.
- Arrange the chicken skin side up, potatoes, and onions on the prepared baking pan. I like to lightly season everything with salt and pepper once arranged on the pan to ensure it is seasoned well before going in the oven.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake, covered, for 40 minutes.
- Uncover, toss the potatoes around and spoon some of pan juices over the chicken. Top with lemon slices, and continue baking, uncovered, for additional 25-30 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

ROASTED HERBED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND CREAMY LEMON SAUCE
This is a recipe that has gradually evolved over several years at our house. My family loves this meal---the chicken is roasted on a broiler pan while thinly sliced potatoes are layered on the drip pan underneath. As the chicken cooks, the flavors drip down onto the potatoes; they're so delicious! The sauce is creamy and tangy and is great on both the chicken and the potatoes. We usually eat this with sauteed green beans on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven broiler, keeping oven door cracked.
- Cut lemons in half. Cut the nub off so they can stand up in a small roasting pan, flesh side up. Season lemons with coarse salt.
- Place under broiler, about 2 inches from heating element. Roast until the tops are browned and blistered, but not burned (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place butterflied chicken in mixing bowl, coat with olive oil. Season liberally with salt, pepper, Herbs de Provence, paprika and garlic powder, massaging into the entire surface, as well as under the skin.
- Slice the potatoes in 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Place in another mixing bowl, lightly coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, Herbs and paprika.
- Line the drip pan of a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in a single layer (okay if they overlap slightly) in the drip pan. Slice 6-8 cloves of garlic in half lengthwise and sprinkle over potatoes.
- Place the broiler rack on top, arrange the chicken on top (skin side up). Place in oven with breast side toward the front of the oven. Cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until thigh meat reaches 180 degrees, breast 165 degrees. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, turn the oven up to 450 degrees to achieve the desired crispiness of skin.
- To make sauce:
- While the chicken is cooking, strain juice from roasted lemons and set aside.
- Melt butter over medium heat in 10 inch saute pan. Saute shallots until soft and lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add roasted lemon juice and chicken stock, bring to boil. Lower heat, simmer and reduce by half. (This should take about 10-12 minutes).
- Add cream of mushroom soup, heat through, add about 1 tablespoons sugar (more or less depending on acidity of the lemons). Add dash of balsamic vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with chicken and potatoes.
ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HERBED POTATOES
adapted from BBC's Good Food, May 2002. NOTE: You may wish to parboil the potatoes is you prefer them to be very soft. The original version does not parboil them, which will result in quite firm roast potatoes. Parboil the potatoes by cooking them in boiling water just until they begin to become fork tender, but not fully cooked.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for free-range, organic chicken, fresh herbs, and flavorful vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking a lot of chicken or vegetables, use two pans or cook them in batches so that they have room to brown.
- Season the chicken generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a little bit of lemon zest for a bright flavor.
- Roast the chicken until it's cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can test this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Let the chicken rest before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted potatoes, green beans, and steamed broccoli are all good options.

This roasted herbed chicken with potatoes and creamy lemon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner.
