This Lemon Garlic Whole Roast Chicken is easy and comforting. I love that it’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner, but also a hit for entertaining. Everyone loves a juicy roast chicken, and it goes with just about anything!
If you’ve never made a whole roast chicken before, you’ve got to give it a try. I promise it’s foolproof! I use an instant read thermometer from Amazon to ensure the chicken is done – it needs to hit 165-170 F internal temperature.
By far, protein is the macronutrient I see my female clients most commonly undereat. Sometimes it’s simply because carbs are easy to grab while protein isn’t always so convenient. Roasting a whole chicken is a foolproof way to not only have a delicious dinner, but also have ready-to-go protein left over for the next day or two.
When you undereat protein, you’ll struggle feeling fully satiated, calm, and in control around food. Without compare, when my female (and male!) clients begin to hit optimal protein goals, they can’t believe how good they feel. Body composition adjusts favorably, they feel focused and energized, and they don’t crave snacks or sweets or coffee all day long.

In the meantime, make this chicken for dinner tonight! It will quickly become a fan favorite to feed your entire family. I serve it with a side of asparagus, broccolini, or a cauliflower mash.
