This looks so gourmet-ish, but is very easy-ish. Sure makes the house smell good, too. If you use a whole roasting chicken, it can be very inexpensive as well. If you want to make a Sunday dinner like Grandma used to make, this is it!
3-4 pound roasting chicken, rinsed with stuff in middle (whatever it is) taken out and thrown away
one lemon
rosemary -I use the dried kind from the spice aisle
salt and pepper
olive oil
chopped potatoes, zucchini, carrots - whatever you like
Put one table spoon rosemary in a bowl. Grate the lemon peel into the bowl. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the bowl. Add one teaspoon each salt and pepper. Rub chicken with a little olive oil. Rub one tablespoonful of the spice mix onto the chicken. Cut up the lemon and stuff it in the chicken. Put chicken into a pan for the oven. Put vegetables into the spice mix and toss. Add to the roasting pan. Cover with a lid or foil. Bake at 350 for about an hour, remove cover and bake 20 minutes more (for well done chicken - bake a bit less if you like it juicy).
