Like close Januarys, I'm gear upwards to commencement trying about novel recipes together with looking for novel inspiration.  During the holidays, nosotros crave those comfort, nostalgic meals that nosotros mix into our Dec rotation.  When Jan rolls around, I can't hold back to freshen things up, pass about fourth dimension inwards the kitchen together with commencement experimenting again.  Laurie surprised me alongside the novel Barefoot Contessa cookbook the solar daytime it came out together with I've dog-eared many pages that I've been itching to try.  

Her newest version of Roasted Chicken did non disappoint.  The method is using a cast atomic let on 26 skillet, lining the bottom alongside lemon together with onion slices, thence placing the chicken on come about together with roast it inwards the oven.  Midway through, add together white vino to the pan together with proceed roasting.  The lemons together with onions inwards the bottom of the pan were transformed during cooking inwards the juices that dripped on them from above.  Completely delectable - together with well for y'all dinner.

The Barefoot Contessa's Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken (original recipe here)

Of course, I altered the recipe a fleck from the master copy to jibe our tastes together with what I had on hand.  I don't actually similar dissecting a whole chicken, thence I used 2 bone-in/skin-on breasts together with thighs.  She calls for whole fennel seeds to rub on earlier roasting which Mike does non tending for (at all!), thence I left out.   However, I likewise made her Seafood Stew a couplet of days after together with which called for sauteed fresh fennel, which nosotros both loved.  My thyme institute had the smallest, close minuscule fleck on it, thence I used what I could.  My cast atomic let on 26 skillet is non large enough, thence I used my cast atomic let on 26 dutch oven (staub) together with it worked perfectly.

I made Colorful Roasted Carrots to accompany, ane of Emma's favorites.

And Braised Green Beans.

And Mashed Potatoes (insert cheesy human face upwards emoji).  I pose a touching on of caprine animal cheese inwards my classic recipe together with it added a terrific bite.  Emma barely noticed - only she did.  She said she could tolerate.

It was quite a spread for a Mon black dinner.

 My best helper!  I can't hold back for y'all to endeavour this recipe - I'm telling you, it was thence slow together with de-lish.
