OVEN-ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CARROTS AND RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Wash chicken breasts and pat dry. Separate the skin from the meat to create a pocket on each breast.
• Combine garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary leaves in a small bowl; stir to combine. Rub about 1/6 of olive oil mixture under the skin of each breast and rub another 1/6 on the outside of the skin. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if you wish.
• Arrange carrots, potatoes, and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan or casserole dish and season with salt and pepper. Place chicken, skin-side up, on top of the vegetables.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Lower the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and cook until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BROILED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERBS, CARROTS, AND RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a 10x12 inch pan with aluminum foil.
• Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut 3 small slits into the side of each chicken breast; insert a slice of garlic into each slit.
• Mix the rosemary, thyme, and sage together on a shallow dish; roll and press each chicken breast into the herb mixture to coat.
• Arrange the breasts close together on the foil-lined pan. Place carrots and red potatoes in a layer around chicken and fold up edges of foil approximately 1 inch. Drizzle carrots and red potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 7 minutes; turn the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

LEMON ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Remove giblets from cavity of chicken. Wash chicken thoroughly in cold water, both inside and out. Remove any loose bits of fat. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt and black pepper on the chicken, rubbing it with your fingers over all its body and into its cavity.
• Wash the lemons in cold water and dry them with a towel. Soften each lemon by placing it on a counter and rolling it back and forth as you put firm downward pressure on it with the palm of your hand. Puncture the lemons in at least 20 places each, using a sturdy round toothpick, a trussing needle, a sharp-pointed fork, or similar implement.
• Place both lemons in the bird's cavity. Close up the opening with toothpicks or with trussing needle and string; do not seal it completely airtight, or the bird may explode. Run kitchen string from one leg to the other, tying it at both knuckle ends. Leave the legs in their natural position without pulling them tight. If the skin is unbroken, the chicken will puff up as it cooks, and the string serves only to keep the thighs from spreading apart and splitting the skin.
• Put the chicken into a roasting pan, breast facing down. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around it. Place the pan in the upper third of the preheated oven. After 30 minutes, stir the carrots and potatoes and turn the chicken over to have the breast face up. When turning it, try not to puncture the skin. If kept intact, the chicken will swell like a balloon, which makes for an arresting presentation at the table later. Do not worry too much about it, however, because even if it fails to swell, the flavor will not be affected.
• Cook for 30 to 35 minutes more, then turn the oven up to 400°F Stir the potatoes and carrots again, ensuring they are covered with the chicken juice, and cook for 20 minutes more. (Total cooking time should be 20 to 25 minutes per pound.).
• Whether your bird has puffed up or not, bring it to the table whole and leave the lemons inside until it is carved and opened. The juices that run out are perfectly delicious. Be sure to spoon them over the chicken slices. The lemons will have shriveled up, but they still contain some juice; if you squeeze them, they may squirt.
