Roasted Chicken Amongst Lemon, Rosemary & Olives | Restocked Platters, Vases & Baskets!

*Before I larn to the recipe, I wanted to allow you lot know that I've restocked simply about of the items that sold out close at nowadays when the novel jump products were launched.  One of those items is the Creamware Platters.  In fact, I wrote this postal service a dyad of weeks ago, but didn't desire to taunt you lot alongside the platters inwards the photos until they were 1 time over again available inwards the store.  They are available individually, in addition to also yesteryear the laid of six, for those of you lot that requested.  I've also restocked the Gathering Baskets (mine is at nowadays filled alongside Forsythia!) in addition to the Willow Vase & Votive Collection.  All of these items volition brand beautiful additions to your Easter tabular array - and, of course, the Easter Tags & Place Cards that are recent additions, too.

I'm ever tweaking in addition to playing alongside existing recipes.  Actually, when I'm making dinner, I rarely follow a recipe (even my own) unless I'm trying something novel - in addition to let's appear upward it, I've already memorized all of the Barefoot Contessa books...

I lately jazzed upward an sometime favorite, Roasted Lemon Thyme Chicken.  I added simply about rosemary, light-green olives in addition to butter to the original.  The novel additions made it to a greater extent than vibrant - in addition to Emma loves "oblives" hence I knew they'd survive a large hitting alongside her.  I also roasted carrots (are you lot tired of them yet, obviously, nosotros are not!) in addition to beets for tremendous color.  Both vegetables are prepared the same means - peeled, olive oil, tabular array salt in addition to pepper, hence roasted at 425ish on a canvass pan for 30ish minutes.  I served everything on 1 platter (the Rectangle/Octagon Medium - Creamware Platter), which makes this dinner for 2.5 people expect similar a Lord's Day feast. 



And since it was Sunday, I also served with... Mashed Potatoes, of course.  I honey this "Smallest" Creamware Platter equally a side dish for things similar mashed potatoes, because of its curved sides, it is close a shallow bowl.




The pan drippings are the most wonderful add-on to the repast - lemony, garlicy, rosemary-y.  We poured them correct over the mashed potatoes to accept everything over the top.  And Emma dipped her carrots inwards it.
