Roasted Chicken Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken dry and rub the olive oil all over it. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Place the chicken in a roasting pan.

2. 2

   Roast the Chicken

   Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with its juices halfway through cooking.

3. 3

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   While the chicken is roasting, peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then mash the potatoes with butter and milk until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Steam the Broccoli

   In the last 10 minutes of the chicken cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Make the Herb Gravy

   After the chicken is done, remove it from the roasting pan and cover with foil to rest. In the same pan, add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the flour to thicken the gravy, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until smooth.

6. 6

   Serve

   Carve the chicken and serve it alongside the mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, drizzled with herb gravy.
