TEMPT MY TUMMY TUESDAY

Lisa and Lana are the hosts for Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays. They have some really great recipes. You should go check these 2 out!

Last fall I was looking for a new way to roast chicken. So I went looking on the internet to find a recipe. I went to one of my favorite places, Kraft Kitchens, and found this great recipe. And boy is it good!!!

GREEK STYLE LEMON ROAST CHICKEN



Greek Style Lemon Roast Chicken


INGREDIENTS

1 whole roasting chicken (3-1/2 lb.)
salt and black pepper
1 medium lemon, washed, halved
1/2 cup KRAFT Greek Vinaigrette Dressing

PREPARATION

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towel. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

SQUEEZE the juice from lemon and mix with dressing in a small bowl. Place the squeezed lemon halves inside the cavity of chicken. Drizzle dressing mixture over chicken. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of one of the chicken's thighs.

BAKE 1-1/2 hours or until chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 180°F), basting occasionally.

Their serving suggestions is a Green Salad and a Whole Wheat Roll. I had the green salad, I also got that from the Kraft Kitchens. This also was very good!!!
