Provençal Chicken And Tomato Roast Recipes

Flip the chicken back to breast-side up and continue to roast until the vegetables are saucy and tender and the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register 165 degrees F), about 15 minutes more.
