Tuscan Roast Chicken With Tomatoes Zucchini And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan with cooking spray. Line pan with lemon slices.
• In a smal bowl, stir together lemon juice, chopped garlic, lemon pepper seasoning, and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken pieces on lemon slices and lightly brush chicken with some garlic-lemon mixture (reserve remaining garlic-lemon mixture). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Toss potatoes with tomatoes, zucchini, olives, rosemary and remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil until well coated. Arrange vegetables and whole garlic cloves around chicken, reserving liquid from the vegetables in case the pan dries out during baking.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Brush with reserved garlic-lemon mixture and bake until chicken is cooked through, another 20-25 minutes; add vegetable juices if necessary.
• Serve chicken with vegetables drizzled with pan juices and cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the tomatoes lengthwise into quarters and remove the seeds. Trim the zucchini and cut it in half crosswise and then cut each piece in half lengthwise once if the piece is thin and twice if it is thicker, so that the pieces are relatively uniform.
• Remove the outermost layer of the fennel bulb and discard. Cut the bulb in half so that each half retains part of the stem end. Cut each half into 8 thin wedges so each wedge is held together by a little piece of stem.
• Put the vegetables into a large baking pan. Toss them with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Arrange the chicken pieces in the pan with the vegetables.
• In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon of oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, the garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Rub the mixture into the chicken in the pan. Season with a few turns of pepper.
• Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, then give the vegetables a stir and add the rosemary. Cook for about 20 to 30 minutes more until the chicken is done and the vegetable are tender and beginning to brown.
