Ingredients:
1 chicken, 3.5 lbs
6 cl garlic, peeled
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 large potatoes, peeled, boiled until just

Preheat the oven to broil. Rinse chicken under running water, remove
all visible fat and any pieces of kidney left in the body cavity. Pat
dry inside and out with paper towels. Place the garlic, salt, pepper
and lemon juice in the bowl of mini-processor and process until
smooth or mince the garlic and mix well with other seasonings.
Carefully separate the chicken's skin form its flesh and rub the
garlic mixture between skin and flesh; rub the inside and out very
well. Tie the chicken and place it breast-side down in a roasting pan
with 1/2-inch water or chicken stock. Turn the oven down to 400
degrees but leave it on broil. Place the pan in the lowest rack of
the oven. Roast for 50 minutes.
Turn the chicken breast side up and add more liquid if necessary to
maintain 1/2 inch at the bottom of the pan. Continue to roast another
20 minutes or until the breast is well browned. Remove fron the oven,
remove the chicken to a cutting board and cover loosely to keep warm.
Adjust the liquid level in the roasting pan again and add potato
slices. Roast for about 10 minutes or just until potaoes colour
slightly. Transfer potatoes to serving platter, carve chicken and
place the pieces on top of the potatoes.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
