Lemon Chicken Breast- دجاج بالليمون

I got an email from one of my friends with this picture for a lemon breast chicken that looked really good. I thought I would share it with others who are forced into the kitchen several times a week. Cooking could turn into fun art too!! Here it is:
Ingredients:
-1 whole chicken (weight is dependant on how many servings are required)
-1 large lemon, cut into halves. (The size of the lemon will detriment the size of the finished products...just like breast implants!)
-Spring of rosemary
-Salt and pepper to taste
-Butter or olive oil, whichever you prefer
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Rub butter or oil over the skin of the chicken until it is completely coated .Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat; Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up. This way the juice from the lemon will coat the breast. Season skin of chicken to your preference, place sprig of rosemary into the chicken. Cover and place in oven for 30-45 minutes. Remove cover and continue to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the bird.
If you've followed these steps correctly, your chicken should look like the one in the picture. I still have to make mine and I hope it comes out the same way this one did!! it should look very cute- or should I say sexy- sitting there on the dinner table!
Bon Appetit!
