I love the taste of Thanksgiving turkey that is coated in herbs and hot from the oven. However, I have a very hard time waiting for Thanksgiving – or the turkey. I am also not a fan of buying a turkey out of a grocery store deep freezer that has been there since last Thanksgiving. So instead, the minute the weather has even a hint of coolness in the air, I break out the herb blend and start using it on simple roasted chicken.
You really must try this. Today. Really. It may be the best tasting roasted chicken you have ever had. This recipe is also handy because it is a great, cook once, eat twice recipe. Toss in a few extra chicken breasts, store them in the fridge, and make this DELICIOUS Welcome Fall Harvest Salad later in the week.

Looks like an easy and delicious recipe, which is exactly what I am looking for this time of year! Glad you shared it with us at Foodie Fridays…I hope you’ll be back tomorrow night!
I like easy! Especially when I can cook once and make two meals. Check out the companion salad recipe!
