Smothered Chicken with Garlic
This Pampered Chef chicken recipe tastes so good. My family just loves this recipe.
You will need:
- 3 tbsp of fresh rosemary or 1 tbsp of dried rosemary, divided
- 1/2 of a tsp of paprika
- 1/2 of a tsp of salt
- 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper
- 1 4lb whole chicken
- 1 lemon cut into quarters
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 2 heads of peeled garlic
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Then Lightly spray your Deep Covered Baker with oil. Combine half of the rosemary with the paprika, the salt and the black pepper into the and set it aside.
- Remove and discard giblets and neck from the chicken cavity (I know it sounds gross but come on your cooking chicken). Rinse the chicken with some cold water and pat it dry with some paper towels. Trim the excess fat off of the chicken, if necessary. Place the lemon quarters and the remaining rosemary inside the cavity of the chicken. Tie the chicken’s legs together with a cotton string. Lift the wing tips up toward the neck, then tuck under the back of the chicken. Place the chicken breast side up into the Deep Covered Baker.
- Brush the outside of the chicken with oil, and coat it completely with the seasoning mixture. Arrange the garlic around the chicken. Place it in the oven.
- Bake covered for 60 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and continue roasting 25 to 35 more minutes or until the Pocket Thermometer registers 180°F in the thickest part of the thigh and the juices run clear.
- Remove the chicken from the deep covered baker and let it cool for 10 minutes before carving. Remove the garlic from the drippings and serve it with the chicken.
I hope you enjoy this great pampered chef chicken recipe as much as I do.
