This recipe is my own take on how my mom used to roast chicken. It really takes me back to having scrumptious meals when I was young. My mom was a gardener and always grew her own herbs. She would then freeze them for later use. She would use many different veggies in this dish including root vegetable like turnips and parsnips. The veggies are so tender and don't need any butter because they are flavored by the juices of the chicken and have a wonderful roasted taste.
