Herb Roasted Chicken
A very simple herb roasted chicken. Perfect for a mid week meal or a roast on a summer's day when it's too hot to be spending time in the kitchen. This herb chicken recipe uses cream cheese, garlic and herbs - you could of course make it even easier by buying a ready made herb and garlic cream cheese. It takes a few minutes to prepare and then you can leave it to cook itself. Herb Roasted Chicken Set the oven to 190c Gas Mk 5 Mix the cream cheese, garlic and parsley together. Loosen the skin from the chicken - start at the neck end and work your fingers in to separate the skin from the meat. Push the cheese mixture into the cavity you've made under the skin - massage it down all the way to the legs. Brush with olive oil and roast the chicken for about 1 hour 30 minutes. You don't need to baste this - just let it cook. If you like, scrub some large potatoes and cook them alongside the chicken - they should be ready about the same time. Leave the chicken to rest for about 20 minutes and then cut it into pieces, spooning the juices over. You could just serve crusty bread and a salad with this if you prefer - it's perfect for a summer roast or a mid week meal.
