There’s Nothing Like the Smell of Roast Chicken

Written on February 24, 2010 by momfluential in Recipes & Tutorials

When I saw this recipe (SIMPLE!) from TheBlahBlahBlahger for Chicken Provencal, I knew exactly what was for dinner tonight. I ran straight to Trader Joes and bought myself a chicken and all the fixins. In my case I improvised a little with the spices, added mushrooms and carrots to the mix, sprinkled in a little coriander, left out the tarragon. I’m like that. I can never leave things alone. I left the lemon alone though. That’s just sunshine.

My house smells so good right now. Roast Chicken is such a reassuring smell to me. Even if I’m not eating it, it’s a smell that signals everything will be alright.

Do you need a one dish dinner that puts everything back in perspective? Check out the BlahBlahBlahger’s recipe.

    Looks delicious! I’ve never thought of putting squash in to roast with the chicken. Great idea.

    This looks really good. I’ve never roasted a whole chicken before. I think I may want to now.

    Thank you!!! I know what I’m making for dinner tonight. And there is absolutely nothing better than the smell of a chicken roasting in the oven. It’s the smell of home. I’m leaving out the tarragon, too. I think it’s the only spice in the world I’m not fond of. Over from SITS. So intrigued by your site. Time to explore!
