Rosemary Chicken With Oven Roasted Ratatouille Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third. In a large straight-sided ovenproof skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add eggplant and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add zucchini, garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and thyme; season with salt and pepper.
• Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and rub with oil. Add to skillet, skin-side up, and roast in oven until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn oven to broil and continue to cook until skin is golden brown and juices are bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in the seasonings and garlic. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Spoon half of the butter mixture over chicken. Place the potatoes, carrots and onions around chicken. Drizzle remaining butter mixture over vegetables. , Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours. Baste with cooking juices; bake 30-60 minutes longer, basting occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. (Cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly.), Let stand 10-15 minutes, tented with foil if necessary, before carving. Serve with vegetables.
