GARLIC AND HERB CHEESY CHICKEN



Garlic and Herb Cheesy Chicken image

To spatchcock a bird is to remove its spine and flatten the poultry before roasting it. The purpose of this technique is twofold: It lessens the roasting time and it provides for more even cooking of the white and dark meat.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

A handful each fresh chives, flat leaf parsley, dill or mint
1 cup (8 ounces) soft white cheese such as fromage blanc, farmer's cheese, fresh ricotta (drained) or cream cheese
2 large cloves garlic
Juice of 1/2 lemon plus 2 teaspoons zest
1 organic chicken (about 4 pounds, minimum 3 1/2 pounds)
EVOO, for drizzling, or non-aerosol olive oil spray
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper

Steps:

  • For garlic herb cheese: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Finely chop herbs. Place soft cheese in small mixing bowl. Combine the soft cheese with herbs, finely grated or pasted garlic and lemon juice and zest (or unwrap store-bought Boursin cheese) and place in a small bowl.
  • For the spatchcock chicken: Work with raw poultry on a clean rubber board.
  • Have a large foil-lined rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack set inside of it near the cutting board you're working on.
  • Clip tips of wings with poultry shears. Place chicken breast-side down and remove the spine of the bird by cutting along either side of it in slow even strokes with shears, then turn the bird over and evenly press down on the breastbone to flatten the bird out.
  • Loosen the skin under the breasts and over the thigh and leg meat and evenly distribute the cheese. Drizzle the skin with EVOO or spray lightly with non-aerosol cooking spray, then season with kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
  • Roast chicken on middle rack for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and roast 40 to 45 minutes more to an internal temperature of 160 to 165 degrees F.

MIDDLE EASTERN-INSPIRED HERB AND GARLIC CHICKEN



Middle Eastern-Inspired Herb and Garlic Chicken image

This recipe was inspired by the Middle Eastern dried seasoning mix called za'atar, a combination of herbs (usually thyme, oregano and marjoram), sesame seeds and sumac, often spiked with salt. Here, fresh herbs are substituted for the dried, which, along with fresh parsley and mint and plenty of lemon and garlic, are used to marinated boneless chicken thighs. If you can't find sumac, just leave it out. It does add a nice tang and vibrant color, but the dish will work without it. Optimum marinating time here is 8 hours. But feel free to leave it for as little as 15 minutes or as long as 24 hours. If you would rather use white meat, substitute boneless skinless breasts but reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.

Categories     weekday, weeknight, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
6 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for serving
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, more for serving
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano or marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, more for garnish (optional)
3/4 teaspoon sumac, more for garnish (optional)
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, preferably whole milk yogurt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine chicken with all but 1 teaspoon of the grated garlic (save that teaspoon for the yogurt sauce), the zest and juice of 1 lemon, oil, parsley, mint, thyme, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the sesame seeds and sumac, if using. Cover and marinate for 15 to 30 minutes at room temperature; you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
  • Heat grill or broiler. If grilling, cook chicken over high heat until charred in spots, 4 to 7 minutes. Flip pieces and continue grilling until just cooked through, another 4 to 7 minutes. If broiling, arrange a rack 3 to 4 inches from flame. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spread chicken out in a single layer. Broil chicken, turning halfway through cooking, until well colored and charred in spots, 4 to 7 minutes per side. Be careful that it doesn't burn.
  • While chicken cooks, place yogurt in a small bowl. Stir in the reserved grated garlic and lemon zest and season to taste with salt. Serve the chicken drizzled with olive oil, remaining lemon juice to taste, black pepper, parsley and sesame seeds and sumac, if using, with the yogurt alongside for dipping.

CHEESY HASSELBACK CHICKEN



Cheesy Hasselback Chicken image

Simmered in tangy herb and garlic dressing, these cheese-stuffed breasts are an easy, elegant weeknight dinner.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Italian Herb & Garlic Dressing
2 plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes
4 thick slices provolone cheese (about 4 ounces), cut into quarters
Green salad, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Make 8 crosswise cuts along each chicken breast, slicing two-thirds of the way through (be careful not to cut all the way through; see Cook's Note). Transfer the breasts to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and pour the Italian Herb & Garlic Dressing over them.
  • Fill the first slit on each breast with 1 half-moon slice of fresh tomato and a couple pieces of sun-dried tomato. Fill the next slit with 1 piece of cheese. Fill the remaining slits on each breast, alternating between the tomatoes and cheese.
  • Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with a green salad.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. For this recipe, it is best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken. The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and keep it moist. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. The breadcrumb mixture is what gives the chicken its crispy crust. Use a mixture of different breadcrumbs, such as panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, and seasoned breadcrumbs. You can also add herbs and spices to the breadcrumb mixture to taste.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken before serving.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. This chicken is delicious served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This garlic and herb cheesy chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of garlic, herbs, and olive oil, then coated in a crispy breadcrumb mixture and baked to perfection. The result is a juicy, tender chicken that is packed with flavor. Serve this chicken with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
