HERBED LEMON CHICKEN IN A CROCK POT / SLOW COOKER



Herbed Lemon Chicken in a Crock Pot / Slow Cooker image

This is a lemon herb garlic chicken dish which is made in a slow cooker to contain it's natural flavours. When we served it the meat fell away from the bone. If you wish to increase the celery and carrot you may do so without dramatically change the flavour of the dish. I normally remove the skin off the drumstick, which I recommended with this dish but feel free to leave it on. Everyone enjoyed it in our house hold, hope you will enjoy it.

ROASTED HERBED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Roasted Herbed Chicken With Potatoes and Creamy Lemon Sauce image

This is a recipe that has gradually evolved over several years at our house. My family loves this meal---the chicken is roasted on a broiler pan while thinly sliced potatoes are layered on the drip pan underneath. As the chicken cooks, the flavors drip down onto the potatoes; they're so delicious! The sauce is creamy and tangy and is great on both the chicken and the potatoes. We usually eat this with sauteed green beans on the side.

Time 1h25m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole roasting chicken, butterflied (about 3 lbs)
4 -6 medium sized red potatoes
6 -8 garlic cloves
extra virgin olive oil
dried herbes de provence
salt
pepper
garlic powder
sweet Hungarian paprika
3 lemons, scrubbed to remove wax
1 tablespoon butter
2 -3 small shallots, minced
1 cup chicken stock
0.5 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 tablespoon sugar
1 dash balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven broiler, keeping oven door cracked.
  • Cut lemons in half. Cut the nub off so they can stand up in a small roasting pan, flesh side up. Season lemons with coarse salt.
  • Place under broiler, about 2 inches from heating element. Roast until the tops are browned and blistered, but not burned (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place butterflied chicken in mixing bowl, coat with olive oil. Season liberally with salt, pepper, Herbs de Provence, paprika and garlic powder, massaging into the entire surface, as well as under the skin.
  • Slice the potatoes in 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Place in another mixing bowl, lightly coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, Herbs and paprika.
  • Line the drip pan of a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in a single layer (okay if they overlap slightly) in the drip pan. Slice 6-8 cloves of garlic in half lengthwise and sprinkle over potatoes.
  • Place the broiler rack on top, arrange the chicken on top (skin side up). Place in oven with breast side toward the front of the oven. Cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until thigh meat reaches 180 degrees, breast 165 degrees. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, turn the oven up to 450 degrees to achieve the desired crispiness of skin.
  • To make sauce:
  • While the chicken is cooking, strain juice from roasted lemons and set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in 10 inch saute pan. Saute shallots until soft and lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add roasted lemon juice and chicken stock, bring to boil. Lower heat, simmer and reduce by half. (This should take about 10-12 minutes).
  • Add cream of mushroom soup, heat through, add about 1 tablespoons sugar (more or less depending on acidity of the lemons). Add dash of balsamic vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with chicken and potatoes.
