🕰️ History

Roasting chicken with vegetables is a tradition that spans continents:

European kitchens have been roasting whole chickens with root vegetables for centuries.
American home cooks love one-pan meals for their convenience and heartiness.
Red potatoes and green beans became staples of the classic “meat-and-three” style suppers that define comfort cooking.

This recipe is a modern, streamlined version — rustic, nourishing, and timeless.

🧱 Formation (How Everything Comes Together)

This dish is formed through three essential components:

1. The Chicken

Seasoned generously, roasted until golden with crispy skin and juicy meat.

2. The Potatoes

Red potatoes soak up the herbs, garlic, and chicken drippings as they roast.

3. The Green Beans

Added later so they stay tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

Together they form a meal that looks beautiful, tastes comforting, and feels complete.
