Roast Chicken with Garlic, Lemon and Parsley Recipe

At Hamersley's Bistro in Boston, this chicken is served with roasted potates and onions. The marinade is more like a wet rub.

Ingredients
Marinade:
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves
2 shallots
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Chicken:
1 (3-pound) chicken
1/2 teaspoon salt
Coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 head garlic (unpeeled)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
1. To prepare marinade, combine all ingredients in a food processor; process to a paste.
2. To prepare chicken, coat chicken with marinade. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350F.
4. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place on rack in roasting pan. Wrap garlic in foil and place alongside chicken. Roast 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 170F. Remove from oven and let rest 20 minutes.

Good recipe. Made it for friends and they liked it. Should note that in the print version in Relish magazine, the marinade calls for 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind in addition to ingredients listed
