Easy Roast Chicken For Two

Several times, Ryan and I will get a craving for a roast chicken (so good) in the middle of the week, but just don't have the hours required to cook an entire chicken.  We've made this version of roast chicken, and while not quite as good as a three-hour roasted bird, it is quite good!

Ingredients for Roast Chicken for Two:

2 chicken breast with skin and bone-in
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus extra springs
2 lemons
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper

Chicken, before going into the oven

Pre-heat an oven to 375 degrees.  In a baking dish, line the bottom with lemon slices (save some to squeeze over the top of the chicken) and thyme sprigs.  Place the chicken breast on top of the lemon and thyme and drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper.  Cook in oven for 45-60 minutes depending on the size and serve with anything you like- rice, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, spinach, sweet potato, etc. and don't forget to spoon on some of the juices from the pan, it'll make the yummiest, easiest gravy ever! It really is a breeze, and gives you the all-day cooking flavor, without all the time and work.
