Smothered Chicken With Garlic

Oh mama!! I bought a covered baking dish from Pampered Chef and got to use it for the first time tonight. I made a roast chicken recipe that was on their information pamphlet. WOW!!! So moist and tasty! I'll share it with you!
Smothered Chicken With Garlic
3 Tbsp fresh rosemary or 1 Tbsp dried rosemary, divided
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 whole chicken, about 4 lbs
1 lemon, quartered
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 heads garlic, peeled (about 40 cloves)

Preheat oven to 375. Lightly spray your deep covered baker with oil. Combine half of the rosemary with paprika, salt, and pepper in small bowl; set aside. Place lemon and remaining rosemary inside cavity of chicken. Tie ends of legs together with string. Place chicken breast side up in baker. Brush outside of chicken with olive oil; coat completely with rosemary seasoning mixture. Arrange garlic around chicken. Bake, covered, 60 minutes. Remove lid and roast 25-35 minutes or until it reaches 180 and juices run clear. Remove chicken from baker; let stand 10 minutes before carving. Remove garlic from drippings; serve with chicken.
Yield: 4-6 servings.

ENJOY!

Thank you for posting this recipe! I also have that covered baker, and made the recipe once, but cannot find it now -- I went online hoping to find it (because my heart is set on making it tonight!) and VOILA!! There it was! So, thank you so much!!
