Bistro roasted chicken dinner

Dan made us a delicious roast chicken dinner recently using Gordon Hamersley's roasted chicken with garlic lemon & parsley recipe. We like that this recipe uses classic French bistro flavors like dijon mustard and herbs de Provençe (thyme, lavender, rosemary, etc.), and the herb and lemon infused sauce it makes is so yummy you'll be tempted to sip it! Along with the chicken we had honey glazed roasted carrots, and a fried medallion of goat cheese on tender bibb lettuce. I sprinkled some herbs de Provençe into the French vinaigrette dressing that I made, which echoed the herbs used in the chicken. Here's a little trivia for you, "bistro" actually means "quickly" in Russian. Russian cossacks having their meals and wanting to be served quickly would shout "bistro, bistro."Even though it's a bistro style chicken, relax and take your time making this meal
