SEPHARDIC ROAST CHICKEN WITH ORANGE, LEMON, AND GINGER



Sephardic Roast Chicken With Orange, Lemon, and Ginger image

"Ginger adds a distinctive flavor to this roast chicken. The history of ginger in Jewish cooking began when it arrived in Italy with Sephardic Jewish emigrants from North Africa around 200 B.C."

Provided by CaliforniaJan

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped roasted, salted macadamia nuts (about 4 oz.)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese bread crumbs) or 1 cup other fine dry breadcrumb
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (each 6 to 7 oz.)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
about 2 tbsp. butter
about 2 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup chopped shallot
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup orange juice (use fresh oranges and reserve peel for pilaf)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Put flour and coconut milk in separate wide, shallow bowls. In another bowl, mix nuts and panko. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
  • Put 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess; dip into coconut milk, letting excess drip off; then press into nut mixture to coat on all sides. Reserve coconut milk. Lay chicken in frying pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. With a spatula, turn pieces (taking care not to break off nut coating) and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a baking pan and bake until no longer pink in center of thickest part (cut to test), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wipe any scorched nuts from pan with a paper towel. If pan is dry, add 1 tablespoons each butter and olive oil, then shallots, ginger, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in broth, wine, and orange juice. Boil until liquid is reduced by about half, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into a blender and, holding lid down tightly with a towel, whirl until very smooth. Return sauce to frying pan and add 1/4 cup reserved coconut milk (discard remainder) and salt and pepper to taste; stir over low heat until hot, then pour into a small bowl.
  • Spoon Coconut Pilaf onto plates, top with chicken, and serve with sauce.
  • *Chop the nuts by pulsing briefly in a food processor. Finely shred the peel from the oranges and save it for the pilaf.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and free-range chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of fry and it won't be as crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Orange and ginger chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
