Categories Whole Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, about 3 pounds, washed and patted dry
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 lemon, sliced into rounds, intact
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup chicken broth, reduced-sodium

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and thyme, inside and out. Loosen skin from breast with and index finger and stuff 2 slices of lemon and 1 tablespoon butter onto each side of the breast. Place remaining lemon in the cavity. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan. Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes; basting occasionally. A instant meat thermometer should read 170 in the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone). Transfer chicken to a cutting board; wait 10 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute. Pour off fat from pan. Place pan over 2 burners; pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Scrape up brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook 2-3 minutes. Pour over carved chicken.

Tips:

To ensure your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).

If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it. The meat should be white all the way through, with no pink in the center.

For a more flavorful dish, use a variety of vegetables. Some good options include broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms.

If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce has thickened.

Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This Atkins-friendly sautéed chicken recipe is a quick, easy, and delicious way to get a healthy meal on the table. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. The vegetables add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish. And the best part is that this recipe is low in carbs and high in protein, making it a great choice for people following the Atkins diet.
