This was a lovely chicken dish which cooked away while I went for a run but would also be great for a Sunday lunch for one.
I've made enough for two here but watch out and for tomorrow's recipe there will be a great leftover salad. Fab for picnics or for a work lunch.
Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary - Serves 2 (or 1 with leftovers)
Ingredients
500g, 1lb Chicken pieces; I used a mixture of thighs and drumsticks
1 lemon
4-5 cloves of garlic
A few sprigs of rosemary
Seasoning
Method
Put the chicken pieces into a baking tray. Squeeze in the lemon juice and nestle in the lemon halves. Cut the whole garlic cloves in half and put in the tray.
Add the needles from the rosemary and season.
Bake at approx 190oC, 380F, Gas Mark 5 for about 40 minutes or until cooked through (going for a run while it's cooking is optional!)
Serve with vegetables and the garlicky lemon juices. By this point you can also eat the garlic cloves which will have softened and become less pungent as they cooked.

I've linked this up to recipe of the week.
So many of us find ourselves eating alone or as a couple and, as a result, so many of us reach for convenience solutions. What if we cooked for ourselves like we were cooking for someone we loved? This is what this site is all about. Some of the food is healthy, some isn't, all of it is made with love.
Your posts always make me so hungry! I really need to get better at cooking, I'm not a natural chef at all sadly!

ReplyDeleteOoh sorry I think?
DeleteThis sounds wonderful. I make a Greek chicken that uses a lot of lemon and we love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I remember having some lovely potatoes in Greece with lemon and loads of olive oil. It's one of those taste memories I will have to recreate sometime.
