Lemon-Herb Roast Chicken Dinner image

Here's the one-and-done chicken recipe you didn't know you needed-until now! It's easy enough to pull off with a couple of standard veggies, like carrots, potatoes and onions and flavorful aromatics, like rosemary, thyme and garlic. Toss the whole lot together in your trusty 13x9, and set your chicken on top. As the chicken cooks, its drippings add incredible flavor and tender texture to the veggies below. Give this dish a try, and we think you'll understand why we consider this the new essential chicken dinner.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter, melted

I would not recommend this recipe. There are much better roast chicken recipes out there.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the lemon-herb sauce was bland.

The lemon-herb flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. I'll try using less lemon and herbs next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out a little dry. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time.

This lemon herb roast chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the lemon and herbs gave it a delicious zest.
