Roasted Chicken with Herbes De Provence
The best dinners are the ones that look fancy but are deceptively simple to make, and this roasted chicken recipe fits the bill perfectly.

Paired with onions, carrots and potatoes, this makes a complete meal that’s sure to please any crowd.
Herb Roasted Chicken and Potatoes
The right herb-roasted chicken recipe is like your fave pair of jeans: comforting, works with everything and never goes out of style. A blend of parsley, thyme and garlic powder create a balanced season that adds oomph to each bite while letting the chicken’s natural flavors shine, while seasoned potatoes make it into a meal. Plus, roasting the chicken on high heat cuts down on the cooking time, allowing you to get dinner on the table in just 45 minutes.
Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Rosemary
If you’re looking to upgrade humble chicken thighs, rosemary and paprika are a match made in heaven. The rosemary adds cozy warming notes, while paprika adds zestiness, along with a gorgeous red hue. This recipe uses the same seasoning on both the chicken and the potatoes for a consistent flavor palette throughout the meal
Greek Roasted Chicken and Tomatoes
If you’ve never tried oven-roasting chicken with tomatoes, you’ve been missing out. Hearty plum tomatoes get tender and intensely sweet in the oven, adding unexpected sweetness to your roast chicken dinner. This Greek-inspired recipe amps up the flavor even more with salty olives and feta. The result is a mix of contrasting flavors and textures that’s absolutely delicious.
Lemon Rosemary Roasted Chicken
Lemon adds brightness to any chicken dish, and this lemony roast chicken is ideal for the spring and summer. Pairing lemon with rosemary gives you the best of both worlds: Rosemary makes it savory and comforting, while lemon lightens the dish. Best of all, you can make it even if you don’t have lemons on hand, thanks to Lawry's Lemon Pepper Blend.
