Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    5 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes
    2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes
    2 onions, 1 chopped and 1 halved
    6 sprigs rosemary
    2/3 cup chicken broth
    One 5-pound roasting chicken, rinsed and patted dry
    Salt and pepper
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    1/3 cup chicken broth

Directions

Directions:
1.Preheat the oven to 400°. In a 10-by-14-inch baking dish, toss the carrots, parsnips, chopped onion and 3 sprigs rosemary with the chicken broth and 3 tablespoons water. Spread evenly in the pan.

2.Season the chicken cavity with salt and pepper, stuff with the halved onion and remaining 3 sprigs rosemary and arrange breast side down in the middle of the pan. Brush the top of the chicken with 1 tablespoon butter and season with salt. Roast the chicken and vegetables for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken breast side up, brush with another tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the juices run clear, about 1 hour longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover loosely with foil.

3.Discard the rosemary sprigs from the vegetables in the pan. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a food processor, add the remaining 1/3 cup chicken broth and puree; season with salt and pepper. Reserve the pan.

4.Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve with the vegetable puree and any pan drippings.
