Garlic-Roasted Chicken Breasts




Source of Recipe


MS


List of Ingredients




4 heads garlic
8 sprigs fresh oregano
2 whole roaster chicken breasts (3 1/2 pounds each), rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper



Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 400°. Slice tops from garlic heads, reserving bottoms; arrange tops, cut side down, in center of an 11-by-17-inch roasting pan. Place 1 sprig of oregano over each garlic top, and arrange chicken breasts over garlic.

2. Place reserved garlic bottoms, cut sides up, next to chicken in pan. Drizzle chicken and garlic bottoms with olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place remaining 4 sprigs oregano on top.

3. Roast chicken 30 minutes; turn garlic bottoms cut sides down, and rotate pan. Continue roasting chicken until skin is browned, juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 165° 30 to 45 minutes more.

4. Pour pan juices into a measuring cup, skim fat from top. Serve with chicken. Use roasted garlic as desired.
