Roasted Citrus and Herb Chicken

Since I'm currently addicted to Pinterest.. Here is another inspired recipe I found, that has since been altered to my own taste.

It's a Roasted Citrus and Herb Chicken Breast.   I used chicken breast on the bone with skin, this allows the chicken to stay really juicy and the skin comes to a golden crisp.  

Ingredients for Chicken:
2 Chicken Breasts on the bone w/ skin (if serving more, just add more chicken)
Juice from 1/2 Orange
2 tsp Orange Zest
Juice from 1 Lemon
2 tsp Dried Rosemary spice
1 Garlic Glove - minced
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425
Before i cook my chicken i like to trim it of any unnecessary bones.  The ones I bought had some crazy looking rib pieces hanging off the side of the breast, wasn't very appetising, so i cut those off. :)
Then season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl combine:  juice from 1/2 an orange, juice from 1 lemon, orange zest, 2 tsp rosemary, minced garlic, 3 tablespoons olive oil.  Add the chicken breasts to your bowl and coat with mixture.
Place your chicken in a dish and pour remaining mixture over top.  
Cook for 40-50 minutes depending on thickness of chicken.

You will love this chicken - only took a few minutes to prepare and then you can relax or get other chores done while it's baking.  Perfect for a work day!   It's definitely one of our favorites.


For the side items we had the baked tomato, zucchini, squash (recipe in my previous blog) and a baked sweet potato (with pumpkin spice seasoning & butter)!
ENJOY!
