Lemon Breast of Chicken

Lemon Breast of Chicken

I saw this picture for a lemon breast of chicken that looked really good. I thought I would share it with others who are forced into the kitchen several times a week. Anyway, here it is:

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (weight is dependent on how many servings are required)

1 large lemon, cut into halves

Sprig of rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer

Method:
Heat oven to 350 degrees

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken until it is completely coated

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat

Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up (this way the juice from the lemon will coat the breast)

Season skin of chicken to your preference, place sprig of rosemary into the chicken

Cover and place in oven for 30-45 minutes

Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the bird.

Bon Appetit!

If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken should look like the one in the picture.
