Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the beans into halves or thirds and put them in the base of a dish or casserole that will fit the chicken easily. Halve the potatoes and stir them in, then put the chicken on top of the lot and snuggle it down amongst the veg. Dot the cherry tomatoes around, blob the grain mustard around the edge and tuck in the bay leaves. Season the chicken well and roast for 2 hrs or until nicely browned and cooked through.
  2. Lift the chicken out to carve or joint it and sprinkle the parsley over the veg before serving.

    A nice easy summery roast - but not that special. Don't think I would rush to make it again.

    I really messed this one up. My green beans were incinerated although the chicken and potatos were good. What did I do wrong!

    Oh my gosh do not do this recipe as instructed above as there must be a mistake in the method. The mustard burnt, the tomatoes burnt the potatoes were overcooked it all went wrong apart from the chicken! What a waste of food! I think some of the ingredients should be left untill the last half hour to be put in with oil on top of them. Very disappointed.

    Really disappointing vegetables were burnt , I suspected this may be the case & I was right. Will try again roasting chicken & adding veg later pots about an hour before end of roasting , beans & toms approx 30 mins before the end

    I love this recipe. Have made it several times and use whatever fresh vegetables I happen to have on hand. Turns out great every time. With regard to the cooking time the recipe does say "roast for 2 hrs OR until nicely browned and cooked through." In my oven that's about an hour and a half for a medium sized bird.

    We made this as an easy midweek meal and it was delicious. Really quick to prepare and then it looks after itself it the oven. It'd be great to do for guests as it doesn't need a lot of last minute faffing.

    This recipe went down really well in our house. I would never have roasted green beans ordinarily but the juices from the chicken and the tomatoes made them taste amazing! Will probably add some more veg next time - ideal for an easy mid week meal or labour saving sunday lunch

    Wonder how those whose meal wasn't burnt made this? Surely need to add oil or stock or lid. I am still trying to extricate charred remains from Le Creuset casserole days later.

    A complete waste of a pack of green beans and another of cherry tomatoes. The vegetables were a dry charred mess after one hour, after another 45 minutes we were lucky that we could use some of the potatoes, and ended up with a very dull dinner of roast chicken and a couple of roast potatoes each. If I had been thinking right I should have realised that roasting green beans for 2 hours was never going to work but trusted Good Food! Definitely will not be repeating this one.

    The veg burn if you put them in from the beginning. Cook the chicken and potatoes then add the tomatos and green beans 20 mins before the end of cooking and it is lovely.
