Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (4–5 pounds)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 6 garlic cloves, halved
  • 1 cup dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc recommended)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Stuff the cavity with rosemary, thyme, and halved garlic.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast-side down for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown; flip gently.
  4. Pour white wine and chicken broth around the chicken. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Transfer to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from oven; transfer chicken to a serving platter. Whisk heavy cream into pan drippings over medium heat until thickened (approximately 3–5 minutes).
  7. Serve drizzled with the creamy sauce.
