ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE
I love the smell of chicken roasting in the oven. It makes me think of holidays and family gatherings! Plus I can put it in the oven and concentrate on other things for a while....just enjoying the smell! Don't use a fryer...roasting chickens are a bit larger and have a higher fat content, making them more flavorful.

Steps:
- Remove the giblets and neck and rinse the chicken with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Place a mixture of the fresh herbs in the cavity. Tie the ends of the legs together with string. Lift the wingtips up and over the back, and tuck under the bird.
- Place the chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Insert a meat thermometer into a meaty portion of the thigh, making sure it doesn't touch bone.
- Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 180 degrees. Remove the chicken from the roasting pan, discarding the drippings.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Season your chicken and shrimp well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper to season your chicken and shrimp. This will help to bring out their natural flavors.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken and shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken and shrimp until they're cooked through: Be sure to cook the chicken and shrimp until they're cooked through. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: When you're making the lemon cream sauce, make sure it's thick enough to coat the chicken and shrimp. If it's too thin, it will just run off of the food.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken and shrimp will be most tender and flavorful when they're hot out of the pan.
Conclusion:
This chicken and shrimp with lemon cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to impress your friends and family at your next dinner party. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
