I know it's not Tuesday, our normal recipe day, but I just had to pass this one on before I forgot it in my email inbox. {I'm asking self if there's such a thing as a politically incorrect recipe, but can't come up with an answer.}
Thanks to cousin, excellent chef, Vietnam veteran and all around nice guy JB for forwarding it to me! Hope this delicious dish and the nice bottle of smiley face wine add to your TGIF happiness.
Before the recipe unveiling, I'm sending a THANK YOU to Rebecca Woodhead for nominating the ol' Gumbo Writer blog in Maria Schneider's Editor Unleashed's 25 Favorite Writing Blogs contest. It's a great place to cruise for more writing related blogs!
Oh, and don't forget to enter the HAIKU HOEDOWN on Wednesday's post for a chance to win some Cajun goodies. Now...the recipe...
LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS
1 whole chicken
1 large lemon cut into half
Sprig of rosemary
Tony's or other Cajun seasoning of preference
Garlic powder, Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken until it is completely coated. Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat, then slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up. This way the juice from the lemon will coat the breasts.
Season chicken to your preference, place sprig of rosemary into the chicken. Cover and place in oven for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the bird. Bon Appetit!
If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken should look like this:

You are just too funny! But the recipe does sound tasty!
LOL love the chicken head
Recipe sounds good and the picture is fantastic!
Um..yum!! And your chicken looks awfully developed :)
Have a great weekend!
Do NOT, under any circumstances, show that picture to my husband. He'd want chicken every night.
;)
Ha! Too funny!
Eileen - I'll be cooking a two-fer on the pit soon. Something for the guys and gals: Drunken Chicken and this recipe. LOL
I liked that cookie jar head too Analisa!
Thanks Laura. :)
Jill - Chicken musta been fed those hormones. *snort* You have a great weekend yaself!
Too late Janna. I've already emailed him and your divorce papers will be delivered shortly. LOL
Hey Jennifer. Thanks for dropping by!
Whoa! I would mind eating that, LOL! My food can't have a personality. Only flavor, ha-ha!
Fine Life Folk - Like that old commercial about the finicky kid says, "Try it Mikey, you'll like it!" :) Thanks for coming by!
I hope my chicken turns out as perky as that one.
Dang human growth hormones.
I had better not say anything else.
Oren
Now I know where Kat's craziness comes from!!
TOO much time with you! HA! Too funny! :)
lakeviewer, I "cross my heart" it will. LOL
Oren - No comments from the Peanut Gallery, you goober, you. :) JL and girlfriend came to Wolfpack scrimmage game last night. Don't they grow up (or older) fast?
Congrats on your well-deserved nomination.
I'm thinking this chicken recipe might be applied to a turkey. Just think of the family faces at Thanksgiving dinner.
That is so, so funny. My insane family will love it even without that great head.
GOOD LAWD! laughing.....
Oh good mercy! How happy I am that I came over even though I don't eat chicken! It did put a smile on my face:)
Well, I just gotta try that. How funny!
This looks wonderful and even better, EASY. Even I could do this! ;-)
Have a fabulous weekend!!
Too funny. Thanks for keeping us abreast of all the great ones. ;)
Carol I'll take credit for some of Kat's crazy, but she's got contagious coo-coo cooties too. LOL
Thank you Deb. I also thought of that big bird at Thanksgiving just waiting for someone to lift off the silver dome cover. :)
Sugar Creek Beads - I double dawg dare ya to serve it at the next family function!
Kat - think GMR can whip one of those up the next time y'all are entertaining theater people? hehe
You don't eat chicken? Tsk tsk tsk Debbie. :)
Char - see above dare challenge to Sugar Creek!
Same to ya Boomer. Lemme know if you try it.
LOL Hilary. Shaaawinggggg!
LOVE IT!!! And a keeper!
huggage!!
I know you need to cook that for the hero man soon! Huggage back. :)
ROTFL! If you're going to do this to a turkey, though, methinks you'll need to use grapefruit instead of lemons.
Now that is funny! And unexpected. But I have to admit, no matter how good it smelled, I might have a hard time cutting into that baby. Even once it was de-headed. But I'm trying the recipe. Love chicken with lemons. And rice. And tomatoes and green olives. And ciabatta.
Ahahaha! I have to make this for hubby and see if he says anything. Too funny!!
PS: Reminded me of my picture of the Island on the way to Port Hardy.
