JAMIE OLIVER'S CHICKEN IN MILK



Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk image

The British chef and cooking star Jamie Oliver once called this recipe, which is based on a classic Italian one for pork in milk, "a slightly odd but really fantastic combination that must be tried." Years later he told me that that characterization made him laugh. "I was hardly upselling its virtues," he said. The dish's merits are, in fact, legion. You sear a whole chicken in butter and a little oil, then dump out most of the fat and add cinnamon and garlic to the pot, along with a ton of lemon peel, sage leaves and a few cups of milk, then slide it into a hot oven to create one of the great dinners of all time. The milk breaks apart in the acidity and heat to become a ropy and fascinating sauce, and the garlic goes soft and sweet within it, its fragrance filigreed with the cinnamon and sage. The lemon meanwhile brightens all around it, and there is even a little bit of crispness to the skin, a textural miracle. It is the sort of meal you might cook once a month for a good long while and reminisce about for years.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 to 4 pound) whole chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small cinnamon stick
10 cloves garlic, skins left on
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 handful of fresh sage, leaves picked - around 15 to 20 leaves
2 lemons

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken aggressively with the salt and pepper. Place a pot that will fit the chicken snugly over medium-high heat on the stove, and add to it the butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted and is starting to foam, add the chicken to the pot and fry it, turning every few minutes, until it has browned all over. Turn the heat down to low, remove the chicken from the pot and place it onto a plate, then drain off all but a few tablespoons of the fat from the pot.
  • Add the cinnamon stick and garlic to the pot, and allow them to sizzle in the oil for a minute or 2, then return the chicken to the pot along with the milk and sage leaves. Use a vegetable peeler to cut wide strips of skin off the two lemons, and add them to the pot as well. Slide the pot into the oven, and bake for approximately 1½ hours, basting the chicken occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the sauce has reduced into a thick, curdled sauce. (If the sauce is reducing too quickly, put a cover halfway onto the pot.)
  • To serve, use a spoon to divide the chicken onto plates. Spoon sauce over each serving. Goes well with sautéed greens, pasta, rice, potatoes or bread.

CHICKEN IN MILK



Chicken in Milk image

A slightly odd but really fantastic combination that must be tried

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces (115 grams) or 1 stick butter
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 good handful fresh sage, leaves picked
2 lemons, zested
6 garlic cloves, skin left on
1 pint (565 milliliters) milk
1 (3 pound/ 1.5 kilogram) organic chicken
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C/gas 5), and find a snug-fitting pot for the chicken. Season it generously all over with salt and pepper, and fry it in the butter, turning the chicken to get an even color all over, until golden. Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and throw away the butter left in the pot. This will leave you with tasty sticky goodness at the bottom of the pan, which will give you a lovely caramel flavor later on.
  • Put your chicken back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Baste with the cooking juice when you remember. The lemon zest will sort of split the milk, making a sauce, which is absolutely fantastic.
  • To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide it on to your plates. Spoon over plenty of juice and the little curds. Serve with wilted spinach or greens and some mashed potato.

LEMON-SAGE CHICKEN CUTLETS



Lemon-Sage Chicken Cutlets image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs
Juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 sprigs sage, leaves only
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Warm Farro Salad, recipe follows, or other grains, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 2 thin cutlets. Sprinkle lightly with water, place between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour some flour into a shallow dish and season with salt. Lightly beat the eggs with the lemon juice in another shallow dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the lemon-egg mixture, coating both sides. Add the cutlets to the skillet and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add the sage leaves to the skillet, then turn the cutlets and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the cutlets and sage to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Pour out any remaining oil from the skillet. Add the wine and chicken broth and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl until melted.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter. Top with the fried sage and drizzle with the pan sauce. Serve with lemon wedges and grains on the side.
  • Toss 2 cups cubed winter squash and 1 pint cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet; roast at 425 degrees F until tender, 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup farro or barley in a saucepan with 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a bay leaf and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, uncovered, until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the farro (remove the bay leaf) and toss with the squash, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 tablespoons each chopped parsley and grated pecorino. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Making Lemony Sage Chicken in Milk:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken, flavorful lemons, and fragrant sage will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the pan.
  • Don't boil the milk: Bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat, but don't let it boil. This will prevent the milk from scorching and curdling.
  • Serve immediately: Lemony sage chicken in milk is best served hot, with a side of rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lemony sage chicken in milk is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and fragrant herbs, this dish is sure to become a staple in your dinner rotation. So next time you're looking for a simple yet delicious meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
