This roast chicken takes only one hour, thus the title. I had a 3 1/2 pound chicken and followed the recipe directions. I put my cast iron skillet in the oven and while preheating, I rubbed the chicken with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. The chicken goes into the hot skillet and oven until breast is 120 degrees. Turn off oven and leave chicken in oven until breast is 160 degrees. While chicken is resting, make a pan sauce.

Cook's includes a Tarragon-Lemon Pan Sauce which I made and is very good. The very plain chicken needs a pan sauce. My small chicken actually took less than an hour so it is indeed a fast recipe.
