Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as thyme and rosemary)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Season the whole chicken with salt and pepper.
  4. Brown the chicken on all sides in the hot oil, then remove it from the pot and set it aside.
  5. Add the diced potatoes to the Dutch oven and sauté for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  7. Add the fresh herbs and mix well.
  8. Return the chicken to the pot, nestling it into the mixture.
  9. Cover the Dutch oven and roast in the preheated oven for about 60-90 minutes.
  10. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Notes

Let the chicken come to room temperature before roasting for even cooking. Consider finishing uncovered for the last 15–20 minutes for crispy skin.
