Time 30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 whole airline chicken breasts or boneless skin-on chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock
1 1/2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
1 small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece of peeled zest plus 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh juice from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 450°F. Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in an oven-safe medium stainless steel skillet over high heat until just starting to smoke. Carefully lay chicken breasts into hot skillet skin side down. Cook without moving until skin is deep golden brown and very crisp, about 6 minutes. Carefully flip chicken breasts and transfer skillet to the oven.
  • While chicken roasts, add stock to a liquid measuring cup and sprinkle gelatin over the top. Set aside.
  • Cook chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken breasts registers 150°F, about 7 to 12 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and transfer chicken to a cutting board. Set aside to rest while you make the pan sauce.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet and place over high heat. Add shallots and rosemary and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add stock/gelatin mixture and lemon zest and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking on high heat until sauce is reduced by about two-thirds, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in butter, soy sauce, and lemon juice and cook at a hard boil until emulsified, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Slice chicken breasts into three pieces on a sharp bias and transfer to individual serving plates. Taste sauce and season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH ROASTED LEMON AND ROSEMARY SAUCE



Chicken with Roasted Lemon and Rosemary Sauce image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large lemons
Gray salt
6 boneless chicken breast halves, skin on
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds small new potatoes, such as red bliss, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 cups double-strength chicken stock, or 4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth boiled until reduced by half
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional
Rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Cut a small slice off both ends of each lemon, and then cut in half crosswise. Arrange the lemons, flesh side up, in a flameproof nonreactive baking dish, and season with salt. Broil 6 inches or more from the heat until browned and soft, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly. Squeeze the lemon halves over a sieve suspended over a bowl. Push and stir the pulp through the sieve with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to get as much juice out as possible. Discard the lemon peels.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken, lower the heat to medium, and cook, turning once, until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate or baking sheet.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and tossing, until brown all over, about 10 minutes. Drain off the excess oil. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes and place in the oven until potatoes and chicken are cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a platter and put the pan with the potatoes over medium-high heat. Toss well so the pan juices are absorbed into the potatoes. Scrape the potatoes out of the pan onto the platter around the chicken.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the garlic and rosemary, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and reserved lemon juice. Stir and scrape up all the browned bits that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan, and then add the remaining 1 cup broth. Bring to a simmer stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. If the sauce tastes too lemony, stir in the optional butter. Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes and serve immediately, garnished with rosemary sprigs

1-1/2 pounds small new potatoes such as Red Bliss
2 large lemons
Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing on lemons, plus 1/4 cup Gray salt and freshly ground pepper
4 boneless chicken breast halves, skin on
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup double-strength chicken stock, or 2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth boiled until reduced by half
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool, but do not peel. Cut in half and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler. Cut a small slice off both ends of each lemon, then cut in half crosswise. Arrange the lemons, flesh side up, in a flameproof non-reactive baking dish, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Add the chicken, lower the heat to medium, and cook, turning once, until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove to a platter.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring and tossing, until brown all over, about 5 minutes. Drain off the excess oil. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the potatoes and place in the oven to reheat and cook through, about 10 minutes. When done,remove the chicken to a platter and put the pan with the potatoes over medium-high heat. Toss well so the pan juices are absorbed into the potatoes. Scrape the potatoes out of the pan onto the platter around the chicken.
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the garlic. Sauté briefly until light brown. Immediately add the reserved roasted lemon juice (this final flash of heat will cook off any residual acid flavor), stock, rosemary, and parsley. Stir and scrape up all the browned bits that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the sauce tastes too lemony, stir in the optional butter. Pour the sauce over the chicken and potatoes and serve immediately.

2 tablespoons capers, drained
Salt and pepper
4 large Idaho potatoes
1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine oil, rosemary, garlic and onion in a large bowl. Add the chickens and turn to coat, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from marinade, truss, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat roasting pan over high heat and sear bird. Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the pan juices until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes more.

Add the carrots, celery and onions and cook until soft. Raise the heat to high and add the wine and the port and cook until dry. Add the chicken stock and cook to a sauce consistency. Strain through a fine strainer into a clean saucepan. Add the reduced lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the capers and butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Coarsely grate the potatoes. Dry thoroughly by rubbing them between two clean kitchen towels. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl, mix in the herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat until almost smoking. Add the potatoes in a flat even layer. Shake the pan frequently to prevent the galette from sticking. After 3 to 4 minutes, invert the potatoes onto a plate and carefully slide them back into the pan, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes. Cut into wedges.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken, organic lemons, and fragrant rosemary sprigs will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Roast the lemons and rosemary before adding them to the sauce: This step intensifies their flavor and creates a rich, caramelized sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken: Give each piece of chicken enough space to brown properly. Otherwise, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C): This ensures that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing and serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

The combination of roasted lemons, fragrant rosemary, and succulent chicken creates a flavor profile that is both bright and savory. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, for a complete and satisfying meal.
