A delicious platter of a refreshing lemon and herb marinated chicken roast

One of the things I love about cooking is that it’s creative – I’m mixing flavours, colours, things
that go well together on a plate. I discovered this recipe by mixing and matching the ingredients
roasted chicken are always dry so a little enhancement in the cooking technique made it supermoist
With its juices inside, and the sweet chilly sauce stir fried rice noodle counteracts that heartily.
Also the lemony aroma in the food and lots of coloured veggy look beautiful together.

I love putting a wet mess of ingredients into an oven and taking out an hour later.
I’ve discovered recently that I can smell when food is ready. I’ve got a nose for Food :).

~Recipe for  Refreshing Lemon and Herb Chicken Marinade


This chicken marinade has a very fresh and tasty zing to it.  It is a perfect chicken marinade
for those that are adverse to spicy dishes. Also, one of the most recommended chicken marinades
for the summer months.

Ingredients:

2 onion
3 teaspoons of oregano
1 spoon cornflour
3 teaspoons of thyme
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of oilve oil
2 whole chicken breasts, split in half

for stuffing

1)grated cheese any type (i have used cheddar)
2)finely chopped onion
3)lemon zest (skin of lemon) 1 tbsp

Method:

Rub the chicken with the cut half of the onion, then discard the onion.
Thoroughly mix the herbs,cornflour and garlic with the lemon juice and olive oil.
slit the chicken breast in such a way that a pocket is formed and stuff it with stuffing mixture
Coat the chicken in the marinade, making sure all areas are covered.
Marinate for at least 4 hours, up to a maximum of 48 hours.
cut a big square from an aluminium foil and place the chicken in the mid of it pour over little marinade
and place an onion ring on the fillet and cover with aluminium foil forming an envelope,The need of doing this is to keep the chicken moist
and full of flavour which otherwise burns away due to high heat of the oven
Bake in the oven at 200 degrees celsius/ 390 degrees fahrenheit for 30-40 mins.
