Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Wash and chop vegetables.

Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper and 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning or 1 tablespoon fresh herbs.

pan.

Rub outside of chicken with remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with chicken seasoning or rub.

Place the chicken breast side up on the vegetables. Place the pan in the oven. Cook 12 minutes at 450°F.

Turn oven down to 350°F and bake until the inner thigh reaches 165°F. (A 4-lb.chicken will need an additional 75-80 minutes).

Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 15 minutes before carving.

(Return the vegetables to the oven if they need a few more minutes cook time).

RECIPE NOTES:

This chicken can be roasted on its own without vegetables if preferred.

Chicken Rub-Opt.)

1 Tsp. Paprika

1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt

1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

1 Teaspoon Parsley

1/2 Teaspoon Thyme

1/2 Tsp. Rosemary

Vegetables:

I use a combination of carrots, potatoes onions however, any vegetable will work.

If your chicken is on the smaller side-(3-lbs.)-Be sure to cut your vegetables fairly small so they  cook through along with the chicken.
