ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Chicken With Lemon Cream Sauce image

I love the smell of chicken roasting in the oven. It makes me think of holidays and family gatherings! Plus I can put it in the oven and concentrate on other things for a while....just enjoying the smell! Don't use a fryer...roasting chickens are a bit larger and have a higher fat content, making them more flavorful.

Provided by breezermom

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 lbs roasting chickens
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mixed fresh basil, oregano, and thyme sprigs (mix depending on the spices you flavor...I like basil more!)
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon orange rind, grated
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh not bottled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup whipping cream (I have substituted fat free half and half at times with success, although not quite as thick a sauce)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Remove the giblets and neck and rinse the chicken with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Place a mixture of the fresh herbs in the cavity. Tie the ends of the legs together with string. Lift the wingtips up and over the back, and tuck under the bird.
  • Place the chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Insert a meat thermometer into a meaty portion of the thigh, making sure it doesn't touch bone.
  • Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 180 degrees. Remove the chicken from the roasting pan, discarding the drippings.
  • About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, start your lemon cream sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sherry and the next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Gradually stir in the whipping cream; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Cut the chicken into serving pieces, and return to the roasting pan. Pour the lemon Cream Sauce over the chicken; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat (with an electric door partially open) 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless (or thighs)
Salt and pepper
1 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream

  • Using a mallet, pound down the chicken breasts/thighs into ½ inch thickness. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken. In a 2 cup measuring cup or a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and allow to brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side. Don't worry if the chicken isn't cooked completely, we'll finish it in the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate. Reduce the flame to medium, add the shallots to the skillet along with the chicken broth mixture. Using a whisk, scrape the bottom of the pan so all the brown bits are loosened. Let sauce reduce for about 8-10 minutes or until about ⅓ cup of the sauce remains. When the sauce has thickened, remove from the flame, add the butter and whisk until it melts completely. With the skillet off the flame, add the heavy cream, whisk to combine. Place the skillet back over the flame for just 30 seconds, DO NOT allow the sauce to boil. Remove from heat, add the chicken back into the pan and drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Place the skillet in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked through.

To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
