This recipe is my own take on how my mom used to roast chicken. It really takes me back to having scrumptious meals when I was young. My mom was a gardener and always grew her own herbs. She would then freeze them for later use. She would use many different veggies in this dish including root vegetable like turnips and parsnips. The veggies are so tender and don't need any butter because they are flavored by the juices of the chicken and have a wonderful roasted taste.

Step 4

Pour the wine over the chicken. Then pour the chicken broth mixed with the bouillon over the entire bird. Throw in the bay leaves.
Step 5

Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to bake until chicken is done. Internal temp at 165 degrees.

Remove chicken to carving board and tent with foil to keep warm. Remove the stuffing to serving dish.
Step 7

With a slotted spoon carefully remove the veggie from the pan drippings. Strain the drippings with fine strainer. Discard the solids.
