>Oh Provence, how I love thee! Each time I visit your beautiful countryside I’m always inspired. Lavender abounds in this area making use for body care products and my favorite spices Herbes de Provence. Dean & Deluca carries one of my favorite blends– you can find the link here.

There’s always that “wow factor” when incorporating lavender in anything chicken.  Enjoy my ‘Lavender Roasted Chicken’ recipe below!

Stella’s Lavender Roasted Chicken

Stella’s French Herbes de Provence


 Ingredients 

  1. 1 Whole Organic Chicken
  2. 1 Cup Dry White Wine
  3. 1 Tablespoon Butter
  4. 3 Tablespoons Herbes de Provence
  5. (Optional) 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lavender
  6. 1 Garlic Clove Crushed
  7. 2 Shallots Chopped Thin
  8. Fingerling Potatoes

 Directions

Dress the chicken by rubbing crushed garlic around the flesh & gently glaze with olive oil.

Place in a roasting dish (Le Crueset is my favorite). Add the spices into a bowel with the butter, embedding the spices into the butter.

Gently stuff the chicken with the butter mixture and around the exterior. I like to add fresh thyme and lavender inside the bird as well.

Add the potatoes and shallots around the chicken, mixing 1 cup of white wine.

Finally, spice with a generous amount of sea salt and pepper.

P.S., my favorite chickens to purchase are those that are pasture raised and air chilled, like Mary’s California Bronze Chicken
