Mediterranean Roast chicken

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken
   Carefully unroll the chicken onto a board and pat it dry with paper towels.

2. Add the filling
   Spread the pesto evenly over the inside of the chicken. Sprinkle with feta, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

3. Roll and secure
   Tightly roll the chicken back into shape and secure it with kitchen string to hold everything together.

4. Season the outside
   Brush the outside of the chicken with olive oil, then season with extra lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

5. Roast
   Place the chicken in a roasting dish and cook in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C.

6. Rest and serve
   Allow the chicken to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
