Poulet Rôti Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub the half chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and fresh thyme. Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for about 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

  2. 2

    Prepare Pommes Lyonnaise

    Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the potato slices and cook until golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Make Creamed Spinach

    In a saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare Tarragon Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth and fresh tarragon. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Strain the sauce if desired, and serve alongside the roasted chicken.
