Method

For the Herb Roasted Half Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Rub this mixture all over the chicken.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

For the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a pot of salted boiling water, add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.

For the Local Vegetable

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Toss the seasonal vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.

  2. 6

    Roast the Vegetables

    Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.

For the Mushroom Pan Gravy

  1. 7

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 8

    Make the Gravy

    Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
