Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

== Description ==
Simple roast chicken with vegetables is a comforting dinner and a family favorite. It seems like there's nothing more satisfying than a one-pot chicken dish. This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Wadley Estate in Allen, Texas in 1990.
== Ingredients ==
* 1¼ pounds small thin skinned potatoes scrubbed and halved
* 1 small white onion cut in half
* 1 small carrot quartered
* ½ cup garlic cloves peeled
* 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
* ¼ cup butter cut in small chunks
* 4 pound roasting chicken
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
== Directions ==
# Place potatoes cut side down, onion, carrot and garlic cloves in a rectangular baking pan.
# Sprinkle with rosemary and dot with butter.
# Rinse chicken inside and out then pat dry and place breast side up atop vegetables.
# Roast uncovered in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes then brush chicken with pan juices and return to oven.
# Continue to roast basting often for 45 minutes.
# Tilt chicken to drain juices from cavity into pan.
# Transfer chicken, potatoes and half the garlic to a platter and keep warm.
# Scrape onion, carrot, remaining garlic and pan juices into a blender and process until smoothly pureed adding enough broth to make a pourable sauce.
# Season with salt and pepper then pour sauce into a small serving bowl.
# Serve chicken and vegetables with sauce.
