Convection Roast Chicken with Lemons and Olives

Roasting bone-in chicken pieces definitely adds to the flavor of this easy to prepare sheet pan chicken meal. Surprisingly, even the olives seem to taste better cooked with their pits, although if I am serving this for a party I always use unpitted olives, just to be safe.

Always wanting to make good use of my appliances I steamed a simple rice and orzo pilaf from Trader Joes and some asparagus. This meal for me is perfect “fast food”, very little prep, fast cooking and amazingly delicious.

What People Say

Paul C - PA

“After watching Larissa’s videos we changed our kitchen design to include a Steam Oven because we finally understood how it would benefit our cooking, our only disappointment is we don’t live closer to attend one of her classes.”

Ellie K - SF

“After attending one of Larissa’s demonstrations my home-cooked chicken improved from average to off the charts (my husband + kids words). The Convection knowledge she shared turned out to be a life changing event on how I prepared my family meals from that day forward.”

Carol K, SF

"Larissa unlocked the mysteries of steam oven cooking for me and gave me the confidence to use the oven daily"
