11-ounce can mandarin oranges in light syrup, drained
8-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, drained

In a large skillet, combine topping ingredients except cereal, stirring well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Lemon-Herb Roast Chicken

Serves 6

Vegetable oil spray
11/2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4- to 41/2-pound roasting chicken

2 medium cloves garlic, minced, or 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 bay leaf
1/2 medium onion
1/2 cup dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic)
Vegetable oil spray

Preheat oven to 350         F. Spray roasting pan and rack with vegetable oil spray.

Combine thyme, basil, pepper, and salt.

Remove giblets and neck from chicken and save for other use or discard. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Rub outside of chicken with herb mixture. Put chicken breast side up on rack in roasting pan.

Put garlic, lemon, bay leaf, and onion in chicken, then pour in wine.

Lightly spray outside of chicken with vegetable oil spray.

Roast for about 20 minutes per pound, or until juices run clear when you pierce a thigh with a sharp skewer or a meat thermometer registers 180         F when you insert it in thigh. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Remove skin before serving chicken.

Breast meat: 12 oz        Wing meat: 1H oz
Leg meat: 4 oz                    Back meat: 2 oz
Thigh meat: 6 oz        Total: 25H oz

Time-Saver: Make a double recipe and have extra chicken to use during the week in other recipes, such as Chicken and Broccoli in Mushroom Sauce (see page 210).
