Lemon-Garlic Roast Chicken

The smell when this meal was cooking was out of this world. The flavors of it were just as good.

Super easy recipe. Weight Watchers did this recipe right.

Lemon-Garlic Roast Chicken
Recipe from Weight Watchers Take-Out Tonight Cookbook

Serves 4

1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 T extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
4 skinless bone-in chicken breast
1 lb small read potatoes, quartered
1/2 c water

Preheat oven to 425F.

Combine the lemon juice, 1 T of the oil, the garlic, oregano, marjoram, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp pepper in large bowl. Add the chicken, tossing well to coat, and marinate 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 T oil 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper in a medium bowl. Add the potatoes and toss well to coat. Place a wire rack in the center of a large roasting pan. Arrange the potatoes around the rack and roast 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the marinade; reserve marinade. Remove potatoes from the oven, and place the chicken on the wire rack. Add the water to the reserved marinade and pour over the chicken and potatoes. Roast chicken and potatoes 20 minutes, baste with the pan juices. Return the pan to the oven and roast until it reaches 170F - about 15-20 minutes.
