Roast Chicken with Herbs and Green Olives
This simple but very sophisticated recipe for Roast Chicken with Herbs and Green Olives features roasted chicken thighs seasoned with turmeric, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Leeks are placed beneath the chicken to catch the amazing juices as it roasts in the oven. The sauce is a combination of herbs, Castelvetrano olives, salty pistachios and lemon juice. It really is one of the most delicious chicken recipes I’ve ever made! Perfect for weeknight dinners and for a fancy dinner party! I’m very excited to eat this chicken again today for lunch! I hope you enjoy!

Cooks notes…I had planned to use a combination of bone-in, skin on chicken breasts and thighs for this recipe but my grocery store didn’t have any chicken breasts so I just used thighs and they were perfectly delicious! Use a combination of the two if you like! Also…don’t substitute any other olives for the Castelvetrano olives because the dish won’t be the same.
You’ll have lots of pan juices when this chicken comes out of the oven so be sure to spoon some over when you plate it. The turmeric makes this dish even more healthy and gives the chicken a beautiful color. As you can see, it’s such a pretty presentation!
*Original Recipe from Eye SwoonI tend to gravitate toward simple outfits mainly because I don’t have much time to come up with more complicated ones and honestly, simple fits my lifestyle! A blouse, sweater or a cute top with jeans and booties is my uniform. I love to have a selection of blouses that can be dressed up or down.
The boutique below is filled with ideas for blouses that will be work horses in your wardrobe. These pieces are perfect with jeans but also can be dressed up with skirts (obsessed with this one) or dressier pants. I’ve also added with a few things that sparkle for the holidays (this cute top is only $98) along with a cozy striped sweater, my favorite pair of straight leg jeans, and a pair of Uggs that are on my list!
I woke up in the middle of the night last night when it dawned on me that Thanksgiving is next week and my daughter and granddaughter are coming soon! I really have some work to do…time goes by so quickly!
I really would encourage you to try this chicken because it’s so quick and easy and very very delicious! Let me know what you think!
Thank you so much for reading today!
