ROASTED GARLIC CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Roasted Garlic Chicken With Caramelized Onions image

There's just something about the combination of sweet caramelized onions and the roasted garlic crusted thyme chicken breast that makes this dish explode with flavors in your mouth.

Provided by E. Nigma

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 12-16 slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 head garlic
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the top off the head of garlic, place on a piece of foil, sprinkle with salt, and drizzle olive oil over top. Roast about 30 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic into a small bowl and mash with a spoon into a paste.
  • Melt the butter in a pan and saute the onions over medium heat for about 45 minutes. You want the onions to caramelize in their own sugars and take on a nice golden brown color. This may take up to an hour, depending on how dialed your heat is. If they turn black, it was too hot!
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme on both sides. Saute in olive oil over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side. You only want a nice golden crust here.
  • Spread the roasted garlic paste over top of the chicken breasts and finish them in the 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the juices run clear. Let the chicken rest on your cutting board for 5 minutes while you prepare the sauce from the pan drippings.
  • Drain the excess olive oil from the pan and place over high heat. Deglaze with chicken broth and the optional wine, scraping the browned bits off the pan with a wooden spoon. You want to boil this rapidly and reduce it down to about a third of what it was (or until it's a nice sauce consistency). Taste and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • To plate, slice the breasts diagonally, lay the slices one atop the next, drizzle with the sauce, and top with the carmelized onions.

GARLIC-BUTTER RUBBED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ORANGES AND RED ONIONS



Garlic-Butter Rubbed Chicken with Roasted Oranges and Red Onions image

The age-old pairing of chicken and citrus gets a delicious update. Orange wedges stand in where lemon often appears, and red onions provide a piquant balance. Slices of each cook inside the chicken and alongside it. The meat is kept moist and the skin crisp, thanks to a few tablespoons of orange-garlic butter rubbed in between.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 navel oranges (preferably organic), 1 zested, both cut into 2-inch wedges

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ONIONS AND PARSLEY



Roast Chicken With Onions And Parsley image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings or more

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups chopped fresh parsley or chervil leaves
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large chicken or capon, about 6 pounds, trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced onions
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock or water

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup parsley, garlic and some salt and pepper, and rub this mixture all over the chicken. Put the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan and put the pan in the oven.
  • While it's roasting, melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining parsley and the stock.
  • After the chicken has roasted for about 20 minutes, spoon some of the onion mixture over it, then turn the bird breast side up. Top with more of the onion mixture, leaving some in the saucepan. Baste again after 10 minutes; at this point the breast should be beginning to brown (if it isn't, roast a few more minutes). Turn the heat down to 325 degrees, baste again, and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees. Total roasting time will be about an hour and a half.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour some or all of the pan juices into the saucepan with the remaining onion mixture and bring to a boil; reduce slightly if the mixture is thin. Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce.

CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED ONION AND CARDAMOM RICE



Chicken With Caramelized Onion and Cardamom Rice image

A stunningly fragrant one-pot meal, this chicken and rice dish came to The Times from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi's smash hit "Jerusalem: A Cookbook." Spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and whole cloves, its aromatic earthiness is balanced by plenty of herbs - dill, parsley and cilantro - for freshness and tang. And caramelized onions and dried barberries (or currants) contribute a gentle sweetness. This is dinner party food that is at once elegant and supremely comforting.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons sugar (40 grams)
2 1/2 tablespoons barberries, or use currants (25 grams)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced (2 cups, or 250 grams)
2 1/4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (1 kilogram), or 1 whole chicken, quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 cardamom pods
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 long cinnamon sticks, broken in two
1 2/3 cups basmati rice (300 grams)
2 1/4 cups boiling water (550 milliliters)
1 1/2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves (5 grams), chopped
1/2 cup dill leaves (5 grams), chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves (5 grams), chopped
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (100 grams), mixed with 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the sugar and scant 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, add the barberries, and set aside to soak. If using currants, you do not need to soak them in this way.
  • Meanwhile, heat half the olive oil in a large sauté pan for which you have a lid over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has turned a deep golden brown. Transfer the onion to a small bowl and wipe the pan clean.
  • Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and season with 1½ teaspoons each salt and black pepper. Add the remaining olive oil, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and use your hands to mix everything together well. Heat the frying pan again and place the chicken and spices in it. Sear chicken for 5 minutes on each side and remove from the pan (this is important as it part-cooks the chicken). The spices can stay in the pan, but don't worry if they stick to the chicken. Remove most of the remaining oil as well, leaving just a thin film at the bottom. Add the rice, caramelized onion, 1 teaspoon salt and plenty of black pepper. Drain the barberries and add them as well. Stir well and return the seared chicken to the pan, pushing it into the rice.
  • Pour the boiling water over the rice and chicken, cover the pan, and cook over very low heat for 30 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, remove the lid, quickly place a clean tea towel over the pan, and seal again with the lid. Leave the dish undisturbed for another 10 minutes. Finally, add the herbs and use a fork to stir them in and fluff up the rice. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot or warm with yogurt mixture if you like.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken is ideal for this recipe, as it will give you plenty of meat and flavor. You can also use chicken parts, such as breasts or thighs, but you may need to adjust the cooking time.
  • Roast the garlic first: Roasting the garlic before adding it to the chicken will help to caramelize it and bring out its sweetness. This will add a delicious flavor to the chicken.
  • Use a variety of onions: This recipe calls for both yellow and red onions. The yellow onions will add a sweetness to the dish, while the red onions will add a bit of spice. You can also use other types of onions, such as white or shallots.
  • 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 by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic chicken with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is succulent and flavorful, and the caramelized onions add a sweet and savory touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
