Lemon Chicken with Mushrooms

 

                To add a little craziness to this recipe, add foie gras. Just add a small can inside the chicken at the start of cooking. No need to spread it as it will melt.

4 servings

• 1 whole chicken
• 8 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 12 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 lemon, cut into 4
• Salt and pepper
• 30 ml olive oil
• 12 button mushrooms
• 500 ml wild mushrooms of your choice: oyster mushroom, chanterelle, morel, chanterelle, etc.

1. Inside the chicken, place the thyme, garlic cloves and lemon wedges; tie the chicken, season the outside of the chicken and place in a baking dish.
2. Drizzle the chicken with olive oil and cook for 1 hour in the oven at 400F (200C); baste the chicken with its cooking juices every 10 minutes.
3. Arrange the mushrooms around the chicken and finish cooking for 20 minutes.
4. Cut and serve.
