Health Highlights

Ingredients


1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Lemon juice
2 clove(s) Garlic (chopped)
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch Salt
1 dash Black pepper
1 medium/large bird Whole Chicken (about 4 lbs - cut into pieces - giblets, neck and backbone reserved for another use)
1/2 cup Chicken broth (stock), low sodium
1 tsp Lemon peel (zest)
1 tbsp Parsley, fresh (chopped)

Instructions


Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour. If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat. Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.
