This easy and delicious Italian Roast Chicken recipe is one dish your family and friends are sure to enjoy. It’s the simple combination of seasoning and roasted vegetables that makes this dish so good.


This is a great weekend recipe. You can use any combination of vegetables you like. I prefer little red potatoes, carrots, celery, and pearl onions but you can add parsnips, zucchini, bell peppers or whatever you have available at the time.

Serve this Italian Roast Chicken with some thick creamy gravy, ears of corn on the cob, garlic bread and a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Enjoy!
