This is the simplest roast chicken recipe ever. Pre heat the oven to 180c. Chop all your vegetables into largish chunks and place in a large deep roast tin along with the garlic and herbs.
Place the chicken on top and coat everything with a good glug of olive oil. Season the dish with salt and pepper and mix well, at this stage place the chicken back on top of the vegetables. Place in the oven and cook for about 45 mins until the chicken is cooked, if things are going too brown then turn down to 150c and cook for a little longer.
Simply serve.
