Lemon Chicken Breasts
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 30-45
- 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
DIRECTIONS
- 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 size of the bird.
