Simple Easy Thyme Roasted Chicken

My family loves simple, easy roasted chicken. It’s kind of become our go-to weekend dish- our standard for sunday supper. We love to have delicious, wholesome and warm meals on Sunday after church- but Sundays get fairly chaotic for us in between church and preparing for the coming week. This Foolproof Thyme Roast Chicken is a simple but beautiful dish that is a truly one-pot meal- and is perfect for a magnificent dinner party centerpiece, or part of a humble meal with family.

foolproof thyme roasted chicken- this delicious recipe is the easiest way fr perfect, juicy and flavorful roast chicken!

This roast chicken is so insanely easy- just add the ingredients to a pot, pop in the oven, and your whole house fills up with the most amazing herb-filled smell. It smells just like those ever-enticing birds that slow roast all day long in our small town grocery store.

What I love about this recipe over some of our other roasted chicken favorites (which are all fantastic, and totally worth trying!) is that it uses ingredients you are likely to already have on hand- and you can add some extra veggies and roaster potatoes to the pot to make an entire meal for a crowd- just toss them in the pan and lay the chicken on top. Be sure to season anything you add- generously salt and pepper any potatoes, specifically.

This delicious roasted chicken is simple and so easy to make- its our favorite comforting meal!

It’s simple, great for filling bellies on weeknights or the day before a long week begins- and makes for fabulous leftovers throughout the week. Simply shred leftover chicken for Chicken Noodle Soup, A delicious, shredded chicken salad, or toss it into a simple stir fry!
