French Style Roast Chicken (from cookbook in deluxe membership kit)

Level : Basic (I beg to differ!); Prep: 15 min (also beg to differ); Roast: 1 hr 10 min; Servings: 6

8 Pts+ per serving (1/6 chicken and 2/3 cup veggies)

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp herbs de Provence (not sure what this is, I'm assuming a mix of dried herbs?)
• Grated zest of 1 lemon
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 (3.5 lb) roasting chicken, giblets removed
• 1 lemon, halved
• 1/2 bunch rosemary or thyme
• 1.5 lbs large red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into sixths
• 1 large tomato, coarsely chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Place rack in roasting pan and spray with nonstick spray.
2. Stir together herbs de Provence, lemon zest, garlic, oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a cup. Gently loosen skin from breast and thighs of chicken; spread herb paste on mest under skin. Put lemon and rosemary inside cavity. Tuck wings under and the legs together with kitchen string. Place chicken, breast side up, on prepared rack.
3. Roast chicken until instant rad thermometer inserted into thigh (not touching bone) registers 180 deg F, about 1 hour 10 minutes. ABout 45 minutes before roasting time is up, scatter potatoes and tomato around chicken; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper; roast until tender.
4. Remove chicken from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Remove lemon and rosemary from cavity; discard. Carve chicken and serve with potatoes and tomato. Remove chicken skin before eating.
