Herbes de Provence Roasted Chicken with Chelo Safeed
by Patty

Cut up carrots, parsnips, onions, garlic, celery, lemon and place in a bowl. Add Herbes de Provence, butter, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt & gresh ground pepper. Stuff this mixture into a whole roaster chicken. Rub the outside of the chicken with more olive oil, herbes de provence and salt & pepper. Bake at 350 for 2 hours. I usually don't bother tying up the chicken as I cut them up on the board before serving. Chelo Safeed is Persian style of preparing basmati rice. Potatoes, salt and olive oil are cooked along with the rice. The rich buttery sauce is prepared using the drippings from the roasting pan.
