BAKED LEMON CHICKEN

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces, patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour for dredging
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Peel of half a lemon, white pith removed, cut into very thin strips
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or canned low-sodium

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and pat off the excess. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken skin-side down and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and reserve. Discard the oil and wipe the pan out with a paper towel. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the lemon zest, garlic, and rosemary, and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the honey, lemon juice, and broth, increase the heat and bring to a simmer. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onions to a 9- by 13-inch ovenproof casserole, and spread them out. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up in a single layer on the onions. Pour the cooking liquid over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in the oven, basting every 15 minutes, until cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

1/4 cup good olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
1/3 cup dry white wine

1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.

  • Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon: Fresh lemon zest and juice provide the best flavor for this dish. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Don't overcrowd the bag: Make sure there is enough space in the bag for the chicken to cook evenly. If the bag is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of roast.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a good-quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Season the chicken generously before cooking it. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.

Conclusion:

This lemon chicken dinner in a bag is an easy and delicious way to cook chicken. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the lemon flavor is bright and refreshing. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
