Ingredients

Scale

**Vegetables**

1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved

4 medium turnips, peeled and quartered

4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces

2 large shallots, quartered

1 head garlic, cloves separated (leave skins on)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

**Herb Butter**

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 small lemon, zested and juiced

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon salt

Black pepper, to taste

**Chicken**

1 (4 to 4.5 pound) whole roasting chicken

3 sprigs fresh rosemary

5 sprigs fresh thyme

1 small lemon, halved and seeded

1/2 cup chicken broth

Crusty bread, for serving


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Let the chicken sit at room temperature while prepping vegetables and butter.

2. In a large roasting pan, combine potatoes, turnips, carrots, shallots, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Push vegetables to the edges of the pan to make space for the chicken.

3. In a small bowl, mix parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, softened butter, salt, and pepper.

4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the herb mix over the vegetables.

5. Carefully loosen the chicken skin and spread half of the herb butter under the skin. Spread the remaining butter over the outside.

6. Stuff the cavity with lemon halves and herb sprigs. Tie the legs and tuck the wings under.

7. Place the chicken in the center of the pan. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables.

8. Roast uncovered for 1 to 1¼ hours, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

9. Tent with foil and rest for 10–15 minutes before carving.

10. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the buttery juices and roasted garlic cloves.

Notes

Be sure to use an oven-safe meat thermometer for best results.

You can swap turnips for parsnips or rutabaga if preferred.

Leftovers make a delicious chicken veggie soup!
