1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles

2 tablespoons capers

1 tablespoons dijon mustard

2 cups cubed bread (sourdough, ciabatta, and french bread all work well)

1/3 fresh flat leaf parsley (any fresh herb will work)

2 teaspoons Herbs de Provence

kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil plus 1 tablespoon

1/2 a small yellow onion, sliced

5 rosemary sprigs (optional)

5 thyme sprigs (optional)

4 lb whole chicken

Equipment:

oven

cutting board

paper towels

kitchen thermometer

frying pan

slotted spoon

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.Place a large rimmed pan in the oven and let it heat up for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and remove any giblets from the cavity (they may not be included, so don't worry if you don't see them). Rub the chicken with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stuff with the rosemary and thyme.Carefully remove the pan from the oven and very, very carefully place the chicken in the pan. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 30 minutes. In the meantime, toss the tomatoes and onions with the remaining olive oil and Herbs de Provence. Season lightly with salt and pepper.After the chicken has cooked for 30 minutes, add the tomatoes and onions to the pan. Return to the oven and continue cooking another 30-40 minutes. To test for doneness, use an instant read thermometer (it should reach 155-165° F) or carefully tip the chicken so the juices come out of the cavity. If they run clear or golden, the chicken is done; if they are pink, the chicken needs more time.When the chicken has finished cooking, transfer it to a cutting board and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before carving. Remove the tomatoes and onions with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour the pan juices into a bowl, leaving about 2 tablespoons of liquid in the pan, and set that aside as well.Add the bread cubes to the pan over medium heat and cook until toasted evenly on all sides. Add the tomatoes and onions back to the pan and toss to combine. Transfer to a large serving bowl and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Add the capers, blue cheese, and parsley. Stir gently to combine.Use a spoon to skim the fat off the top of the pan juices. Stir in the dijon mustard and serve alongside the chicken.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
