   Cover/tent ONLY the breast with a small piece of foil.
10. 10
    Roast covered for 30-35 minutes.
11. 11
    Remove the foil from the top of the breast and continue to roast for another 2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast away from the bone reads 160 degrees F (NOTE if the broth evaporates in the bottom of the pan then continue to add in more as needed).

    Transfer to a cutting board (the breast temperature will continue to rise to 170 degrees) then tent loosley with foil.

    *NOTE* if you are planning on making gravy discard the vegetables or you may save them to eat, the choice is up to you, then drain the pan juices though a fine colander into a saucepan, allow to cool, skim off the fat and use the pan dripping to make your favorite gravy.
