Roasted Citrus-Balsamic Chicken

I was looking through the website for Elana's Pantry and she has some AWESOME recipes, but sometimes here in Longview, we don't have the resources to make a lot of her stuff....so we compromise AND keep it Paleo.  This one was pretty easy and I just tweaked it a bit to make is an easy Sunday dinner!

Roasted Citrus-Balsamic Chicken

 

1 whole chicken (with all the icky stuff out of the cavity-lol)

2 apples, quartered

2 oranges, quartered

4 sprigs of fresh Rosemary

1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar

1/2 EVOO

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

 

Place the chicken in a roasting pan and stuff with 2 quarters of each fruit and 4 sprigs of Rosemary.  It WILL be a tight fit so you might have to cram (LOL)

 

Place the remaining quartered fruit around the chicken

 

Brush EVOO then Balsamic Vinegar on the chicken

 

Cook until internal temp of the chicken is 165 degrees (1.5-2 hours)

 

Serve with a baked sweet potato (cook at the same time as chicken)
and fresh green beans w/ a bay leaf, salt and pepper
