Ingredients
Makes 3 servings
- One 2 ½-3 lb. organic chicken
- 3 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- fresh thyme, sage and rosemary
- 1 lemon halved

Preparation
Chop the celery, carrots and onion and place in roasting pan. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat dry the bird. Salt and pepper inside and out. Place the herbs and garlic inside the cavity. Place the bird on in the roasting pan with vegetable surrounding it. Squeeze half of the lemon on the chicken. Stick the other half in the cavity. Drizzle olive oil over everything.

Comments
Very nice, but a green salad? You'll be wanting roast parsnips, steamed leeks/carrots, braised cabbage, stuffing, gravy and Yorkshire puddings!
HA! true enough!
