Ingredients

  • 4 heads garlic 8 sprigs fresh oregano 2 whole roaster chicken breasts (3 1/2 pounds each), rinsed and patted dry 2 tablespoons olive oil Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice tops from garlic heads, reserving the bottoms; arrange tops, cut sides down, in the center of an 11-by-17-inch roasting pan. Place 1 sprig of oregano over each garlic top, and arrange chicken breasts over garlic.

Place reserved garlic bottoms, cut sides up, next to chicken in the pan. Drizzle chicken and garlic bottoms with the olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place remaining 4 sprigs of oregano on top.

Roast chicken for 30 minutes; turn garlic bottoms cut sides down, and rotate the pan. Continue roasting chicken until skin is browned, juices run clear, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes more.

Pour pan juices into a measuring cup; skim fat from the top. Serve juices with chicken and roasted garlic.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/12/2010   The cook time and temp for this was perfect, my chicken was juicy and not dried out at all. I forgot the oregano. I also added a bit of lemon juice. When it was done I squeezed the garlic cloves into my food processor with some lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and salt and made a roast garlic paste and served it with my chicken. YUM!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/01/2009   Should the chicken be roasted before? is this double-cooking the chicken?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/02/2008   I made this tonight and just had to come and write a comment. It was sooo easy and absolutely delicious. I made it with mashed potatos and everyone loved it, my husband my kids and a friend was here. I will definately make this again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/19/2008   This is an awesome tasting dish, easy and quick to prepare. But I only had 1 full head of garlic... but WHOA I think I scared off everybody in a 2 mile radius! I loved eating it (and I only ate 1 portion). My wife was not home to have some herself, but when she got back she would not come near me for 2 days! She likes cooking with garlic but I think 4 heads is way too much, unless EVERYBODY in the household shares in the dinner and stay away from the general public for about 36-48 hours!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/17/2008   I opted for 8 heads garlic and decided that made it too garlicky!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/22/2008   I made this for dinner for my family and everyone loved it. The garlic infuses into the chicken and it was delicious. I made mashed potatoes and used some of the roasted garlic in the potatoes - it was great. Very fast and easy dish.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/10/2008   If made right, This chicken is absoultely delicious! Best chicken ever! Easy and quick too.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2008   I just realized that I already made this back in April and commented on it back then. I need to make sure I don't make a third time!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/14/2008   I wish I read the comments before I made this dish. It turned out exactly how everyone described it... yuck!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/29/2008   How many sprigs of rosemary would you use? 8 like the recipe above or is that too many? I have never cooked with rosemary but bought some the other day and would like to try this recipe with it!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/20/2008   Are the chicken breasts really supposed to be roasted to start with or is this a typo?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/01/2008   my husband and i loooooove this recipe. we use rosemary instead of oregano and it's even more delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/26/2008   The chicken was a bit dry and bland. It was much better once I ate some of the roasted garlic with the chicken. Hopefully I don't smell too much tomorrow!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/09/2008   I found this dish rather tasteless and the chicken turned out dry. I will try marinating the chicken for a few hours beforehand next time.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/05/2008   I came home in a rush tonight with three hungry kids under 6. I threw this together and into the oven in minutes. My kids absolutely loved it, and we all know how picky little eaters can be. I opted for some roasted veggies to go along with it and simply tossed some zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms together with some salt pepper and oil. They were popped in the oven for the last 15 minutes of roasting time and we had a perfect and wholesome meal.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/05/2008   I also saw this recipe on the show last week and made it tonight for dinner. It was easy and delicious. Definitely a keeper when I need to pull a quick meal together. I used rosemary. You can never go wrong with roasted garlic, either. I made broccollini and haricot vert with shallots, olive oil, and s

I made it today and not only was it easy to make...it was delicious!! My 3 year old daughter loved it!! The only thing I was missing was oregano, so I used rosemary instead. Thank you Lucinda and Martha for this wonderful and easy recipe. Debra
