1. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, ¼ cup of the herbs, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the chicken pieces in a roasting pan that can be brought to the table and pour the lemon-herb mixture over. Arrange the garlic cloves all around the chicken, stirring them to coat with the mixture. Roast for about 40 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are nicely browned and opaque throughout.

3. Remove the chicken from the oven. Add the broth to the pan and place on top of the stove over medium-high heat. Stir to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the olives and stir; cook a few minutes to heat them through. Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons herbs and serve from the pan, or transfer to a platter. Serve immediately.

Advance Preparation:

The lemon-herb mixture can be made 4 hours ahead, covered, and kept at room temperature.

The clever cook could:

1. Double the recipe.

2. Use half black olives for a contrast of color.
