In this one-pan recipe, you roast a whole chicken with a garden of vegetables—plus some Kalamata olives thrown in to put the flavor over the top. The chicken is first rubbed with a mixture of garlic, rosemary, thyme, and tarragon, while lemon wedges are placed inside the cavity. Red potatoes, red onions, and plum tomatoes are arranged around the chicken and then roasted for 45 minutes. Pile on the zucchini, squash, olives, and garlic cloves and continue to roast until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender. It's as easy as that! Just be sure to pull out your largest baking sheet for this one.
