"Poulet Rôti aux Herbes de Provence" .. "Roast Chicken with Herbs de Provence". It's Autumn .. cool temperatures scream for comfort food and nothing screams comfort louder than a succulent roast chicken!
This is one of my favorite of all dishes. Crispy, buttery skin with the aroma of the herb blend. If you could be in the kitchen today, you would be addicted. Speaking of the herb blend .. The French "Herbes de Provence" is a blend of thyme, basil, lavender, marjoram, rosemary and summer savory.
Lavender is iconic of Provence, and it is a major component of the distinct flavor of this herb blend. Thyme has a light mint flavor and blends well with other spices as it helps to balance the different tastes. Marjoram is also a mint and is characteristic of most all Mediterranean cooking. Other aromatics include carrot, celery, onion and lemon.
Serve this with your favorite potato side and "voila" dinner is served!
Bon Appétit!
