Roasted Lemon And Rosemary Chicken

I am once again trying to eat healthy. Swim suit season is coming, no more holidays and no more trips scheduled for a while so, maybe, just maybe, I'll actually succeed. For now I am loving Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes. This is one of the first recipes I've tried and if I say so myself, that is one pretty bird! Easy and absolutely delicious.


Roast Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Cook Time: 50 minutes • Points with Skin: Leg 4 pts, Wing 3 pts, Thigh 4 pts, Breast 5 pts

1 (3 lb) chicken, washed and dried, fat removed
1/2 onion, chopped in large chunks
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 lemon
2-3 sprigs rosemary
1 tbsp herbes de Provence (or dried rosemary)
salt and fresh pepper

Heat oven to 425°. Season chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and herbs de provence. Squeeze lemon juice on the outside of the chicken and stuff the remains of the lemon along with onion, garlic, rosemary sprigs inside the chicken.Roast the chicken until the internal temperature is 165°F, about 50-60 minutes (Insert thermometer between the leg and the thigh). Let the bird rest for 10 minutes before carving.
