Leftover Lemons?

Or citrus not as plump because of too many days in the fridge.  We always have leftover fruit and here’s my solution to leftover lemons, Clementine's, oranges or limes…

Citrus Baked Chicken

P2280080

Stuff the bird with whole citrus fruit (I used two clementines). 

Cut up extra fruit into slices and slide under skin on chicken breast.

Cut up pieces of butter and slide them under skin as well and butter top of skin as well

season with salt and pepper.

Bake on 350 with your favorite veggies (sometimes I parboil or precook in microwave potatoes before I bake).

Cook until done (1.25 – 3 hours depending on weight of bird).

Some chickens come with pop up timers or use a meat thermometer (it indicates appropriate temp for poultry).

And… I just learned of the most fantastic fun place for children under 5!  Storyville at the County Library.

Check your local library for fun FREE opportunities for you and your toddler.
