A lovely Mediterranean style roast chicken, with lots
of herbs and seasonal vegetables. The thing I like best
about this dish is it just goes into the oven and cooks
itself!
Ingredients
for Mediterranean Roast Chicken
1 whole medium fresh chicken
2 green or red peppers
2 medium onions
1 medium courgette
3 tomatoes
150g mushrooms
Oregano
Thyme
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
How
to make Mediterranean Roast Chicken
- Wash
the chicken inside and out removing any giblets and
pat dry. Place in a large oiled roasting tin.
- Rub
the outside of the chicken with olive oil, season
with a little salt and pepper and sprinkle generously
with oregano and thyme.
- Cook
in a high oven for about 20 minutes basting with the
juices.
- Prepare
the vegetables by washing and or peeling and chopping
into large dice.
- Add
the vegetables to the pan and lower the heat on the
oven to medium, then cook for an hour to an hour and
a half, depending on the size of the chicken.
- You
can check the chicken is done by inserting a thin
knife between the leg and breast, if the juices run
clear then the chicken is cooked, if not leave for
another 20 minutes.
- Serve
immediately with boiled potatoes or lots of fresh
bread to mop up the juices.
