Roast Chicken with everything else all in one pot

I am into lazy these days, so this is another lazy dish--everything all at once in one pot. Celery, carrot, lots of whole cloves of garlic0 sage, thyme, and rosemary are spread out on the bottom of a cast iron enamel pot preheated in the oven. A chicken, salt-and-peppered, sits on top of the vegetable surrounded by potatoes. Roast in a hot oven for 15 minutes uncovered and then cover for half and hour until the thighs reach 165℉.






The meat is moist and fully infused with all the flavours of the herbs and vegetables. The potatoes and carrot and garlic are just right. It all comes with a lovely sauce in the bottom of the pan. Minimal fuss, really.
