Recipe Introduction
I've always loved gardening, but have just started to grow herbs in last
few years. The flavors of fresh herbs are wonderful and very different
from the dried herbs you buy. I love going out to snip pieces of
whatever seems good at the moment and creating new and exciting recipes.
It sure takes the boredom out of cooking the same old things! Enjoy!
List of Ingredients
fresh - Roasted Lemon Balm Chicken
Handful of fresh lemon balm leaves, stems removed
1/4 cup or so of fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 large roasting chicken
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 400F. Trim herb leaves from stems; wash and pat dry. Set
sprigs aside. Chop two-thirds of the leaves, and combine with the
butter, salt, and pepper. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Loosen the skin in
several places and insert the herb butter underneath. Rub chicken with
salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Insert the remaining herb sprigs into
the cavity of the chicken. Place breast-side-down in a roasting pan.
Bake 30 minutes, then turn chicken over. Bake about 20 minutes longer.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
