Fresh lemon and rosemary complement the richly roasted flavor of the chicken, made moist and tender using this foolproof cooking method.
Grate and reserve 1 tablespoon zest from lemon. Cut lemon in quarters. Chop and reserve 1 sprig rosemary.
Remove package of giblets and neck from chicken cavities. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towel. Place lemon quarters and remaining rosemary sprigs into chicken cavity. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Set to STOVETOP HIGH. Place chicken into pot. Cook uncovered, searing chicken for approximately 5–7 minutes on each side as desired. Remove chicken from pot and place on roasting rack.
Place onions, garlic and broth into pot. Place rack with chicken in pot. Sprinkle chicken with reserved lemon zest and chopped rosemary. Set OVEN to 375°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
**Added comment by: Donna McPherson Gathright - I made the lemon chicken with rosemary recipe, using 3 large boneless skinless breasts instead of a whole chicken. (My husband won't eat dark meat.) It turned out great! Cooking is not really my forte, so imagine how pleased I was to hear him say, "this is really good!" I love how moist it turned out, with flavor all through the breasts.
