Cooking with Lemon Balm

I just gathered some more lemon balm and used it to cook 2 whole chickens.

First I washed the lemon balm in clean water and patted it dry.

I wash the chickens and lift the skin by sliding my hand or spatula between the skin and breasts.

I stick in the lemon balm stems and all. This makes getting it out easier before you serve it.

I oiled and sprinkled a little black pepper and we are good for dinner later.

Lemon Balm has such a mellow lemon taste it is surprisingly delicious on chicken, fish or vegetables. I like the young tip leaves in my salads too!

Three dogs can't be wrong, yum!
