AMARETTO CHICKEN



Amaretto Chicken image

I can't believe how great this was! It came from allrecipes.com. I'm not an onion fan so I used 1/2 boiling onion instead of green onions and I didn't have any tarragon so I used parsley for color mainly. I also used a jar of Green Giant sliced mushrooms. I love garlic bu t3 cloves sounded like a lot so I used 1 large clove crushed.

AMARETTO CHICKEN



Amaretto Chicken image

Hubby and I came up with this using the standard Tortured Chicken recipe as a base and adding some of the Amereto we'd bought the day before to the mix. A sweet chicken that was just as good hot as it was cold- even a friend's kids were picking the meat off of the bones.

Provided by Sarah

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 Roaster Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup Amaretto
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons pepper
1 roasting chicken
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 (F) and make sure rack's low enough to hold chicken.
  • Clean the chicken inside and out, removing gibblets and other internal organs.
  • Pat dry with papertowls.
  • Mix Amaretto, salt, pepper and brown sugar together untill sugar is disolved and rub/brush onto the chicken covering all of it.
  • Save any left over Amaretto mix for basting while chicken is in the oven.
  • Line your cooking pan with foil for easy clean up and spray with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken on its back in the pan and place your Thermometer in the bird.
  • The chicken will be done when the internal temperature is 180 (F) which, depending on your oven can take from 45 min to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove chicken from oven when done and let cool before cutting.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have amaretto liqueur, you can substitute it with an equal amount of orange liqueur or brandy.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought broth.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the skillet and cook until the sauce has thickened.
  • For a crispy skin, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking.

Conclusion:

This amaretto chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
