Tuscan Roasted Chicken Recipe

Here is the finished result as promised of my Tuscan Roasted Chicken dish from last night - voila!! 

Tuscan Lemon Roasted Chicken (adapated from Nordstrom Family Table cookbook)

whole chicken or boned chicken parts (I used breasts and drumsticks for kids)
1/2 c EVOO
1/4 cup lemon juice
8 cloves of garlic
2 tsp fresh chopped parsley
2 tsp fresh rosemary
2 tsp fresh thyme
3/4 tsp kosher salt 
3/4 tsp ground pepper

Mix all in blender/ food processor to make marinade.  Marinate chicken in pan for 6-8 hours covered.  Roast at 350 for 30-45 min, then at 400 for 30 min.  I like to uncover it for the last 15 min to brown the skin some.  Enjoy!! 


I added some sauteed zucchini, seasoned with fresh herbs, EVOO, S & P and glazed carrots with fennel seeds.  The kids had extra cous cows with theirs :)  The glazed carrots are an adapatation from the Nordstrom family table cookbook as well. 

Glazed Carrots
1 tbs butter
carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
3 tbs light brown sugar
2 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp ginger - ground 
pinch of kosher salt and pepper

Happy Cooking!
