I was originally suppose to make French-Style Roast Chicken from my Weight Watcher’s cookbook but as I got everything out, I discovered that I didn’t buy any fryers, nor do I have Herbs de Provence. In fact, I don’t even know what that is! (runs off to Google…) So I decided to improvise and take a bit of this and that from the recipe and make my own dish… and it actually turned out! lol
We’ll call this Citrus Roasted Chicken because… well, I used citrus to season it. Novel idea, eh? Yeah, I’m not real creative when it comes to names and titles. 🙂
