Roasted Lemon Chicken w/Goat Cheese

With the winter almost here, I do a lot of roasting. It helps to heat up your home and the smells make your house toasty. This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prep and about 45 minutes to cook.

Four Chicken Breast (skin-in & bone-in)
Goat Cheese
2 Lemons
Kosher Salt
Pepper
Italian Herbs
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Olive Oil

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the chicken breasts and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, Italian herbs, onion powder and garlic powder over the chicken breasts. Drizzle the olive oil and squeeze the juice of one lemon and massage into the chicken. Slice the goat cheese into about 1/4 inch thick circles. With your fingers, separate the skin so that you have a small opening on one side. Place two of the goat cheese circles under the skin of each chicken breast. Bake on 400 degrees for about 45 minutes. Take it out once it is golden brown and place aside for about 5 minutes before serving. Just before serving, take the other lemon and squeeze over the chicken. The roasted chicken is great with plain rice, the Quinoa salad, roasted potatoes etc.
