Herb roasted chicken, shell pasta, capers, celery in a creamy garlic dressing.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin as well. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shell pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the diced celery, drained capers, and heavy cream. Mix well to combine.
Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Add the cooked shell pasta to the bowl with the celery and capers dressing, tossing to coat. Serve the roasted chicken alongside the creamy pasta salad.
