Place all the vegetables in the bottom of a roasting dish and put the chicken on top, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Roast in the oven at 450 degrees for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Let the chicken rest for at least 20 minutes after removing it from the oven.

15

Add about 1 cup of chicken broth to the pot and bring to a simmer, mixing everything together.
