Now I'm following a low FODMAP diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome - I will blog some meals which are suitable for IBS sufferers. The low FODMAP diet is not a cure for IBS, but if followed - can alleviate the pain associated with an inflamed and irritated bowel. See my blog post about IBS and the low FODMAP diet.
I came up with this meal idea myself, so I wasn't sure about cooking times, temps or how it would actually turn out in the end, but it turned out beautifully so I was super excited. This serves 4 and is lovely served with steamed vegetables and brown rice.
Ingredients:
- 500g chicken breast (bone-in pieces will require less cooking time)
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 and 1/2 lemons - juice half of one and slice the other one
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled but left whole
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven at 190 degrees celsius
- Cut your chicken breast into largish pieces - about 2cm x 6cm and place into a casserole dish
- Place peeled, whole garlic cloves into the casserole dish and sprinkle the rosemary over the top
- Pour over the juice of half a lemon and place the sliced lemon pieces from the other lemon over the top of the chicken
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top
- Bake at 190 degrees celsius for about 25 mins, check to see if chicken is cooked though as some pieces may be thicker than others and bone-in pieces may already be done
- If a little longer is required, cook for a further 10mins and check again
- Serve with rice or couscous as there will be quite a bit of lemon juice which is flavoured with garlic and rosemary to pour over it...D-E-L-icious XD
*Note: Even though garlic is not a low FODMAP food, you can cook with garlic as long as you remove it and not eat it. Read more about this here.
