As part of my endless search after the best healthy recipes I found out that healthy chicken recipes are very easy and common and I can add my own twist to most of them.
Just the other day I was looking for an healthy chicken recipes to make something special for our traditional family friday night dinner. Every friday my whole big fat family are meeting together at my mom house and every body bring his own dish to the feast. So this time I was in charge of the chicken and after a long search of boring fried chicken recipes, I finally found this Broiled Chicken with Lemon recipe.
Chicken is a great source of protein and lemon is full with vitamin C, so my dish was a good source of protein without too much oil or fat, plus everybody loved it. I found it in an Israeli website and I thought I must share it with you guys
So for the ingredients:
1 small chicken
1 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoons oregano
1/4 teaspoons lemon zest
And for the directions:
1. Clean the chicken. cut out the wings, the windpipe and remove the all internal parts.
2. Season the chicken. Rub the salt and the garlic inside the chicken skin and than sprinkle the paprika.
3. Spread the chicken on a baking dish with the chicken skin toward the bottom.
4. In a separate bowl you mix together the oregano, lemon zest, The water and the lemon juice and pour everything on the chicken.
5. bake in the oven in 401˚F. No need to cover the chicken in the stove.
Bake for 40 minutes and than turn the chicken upside down and keep baking for another 35 minutes. During baking pour the liquid from the bottom of the dish on the chicken and repeat this action few times.
As I said my family loved this chicken and i hope you will as well! Bon apetite
