Herb-roasted Chicken with Lemon

== Description ==
 
The easiest way to know when a chicken is done is to use an instant-read meat thermometer.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 chicken (about 3 pounds), washed and patted dry
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon black pepper
* 2 teaspoons chopped fresh herb (i.e. thyme, parsley, sage, etc.) or 1 teaspoon dried
* 1 lemon, sliced into rounds, intact
* 2 tablespoons butter
* ¾ cup reduced sodium chicken broth
== Directions ==
# Heat oven to 350°F.
# Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and herb, inside and out.
# Loosen skin from breast with an index finger, and stuff 2 slices of lemon and 1 tablespoon butter onto each side of the breast.
# Place remaining lemon in the cavity.
# Transfer chicken to a roasting pan.
# Roast 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes; basting occasionally.
# An instant meat thermometer should read 170°F in the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone).
# Transfer chicken to a cutting board; wait 10 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute.
# Pour off fat from pan.
# Place pan over 2 oven burners; pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
# Scrape up brown bits on bottom of pan.
# Cook 2 – 3 minutes.
# Pour over carved chicken.
