Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

BOBBY FLAY'S CHICKEN WITH ROQUEFORT



Bobby Flay's Chicken With Roquefort image

This recipe came to us from Bobby Flay in advance of the opening of his restaurant Gato. The chicken gets a jolt of flavor not only from the cheese but also from a honey and sherry vinegar gastrique, basically a sauce made from caramelized sugar or another sweet ingredient like the honey, deglazed with vinegar and then reduced.

Provided by Jeff Gordinier

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup clover honey
1/2 cup aged sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1/4 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese at room temperature
4 skin-on boneless chicken breasts, 8 ounces each
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put honey in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. This sweet deglazed sauce is called a gastrique. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Mix together the butter and blue cheese in a small bowl until well blended, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the chicken breasts and stuff about 1 heaping tablespoon of the blue cheese butter under the skin of each breast, smoothing the skin to evenly distribute the butter over the surface of the breast meat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Put chicken in the pan, skin-side down, and cook until fat renders and skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and add four rosemary sprigs to pan. Place in oven and roast until breasts are just cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Remove pan from oven and heat broiler. Spread the remaining butter over the tops of each breast and place under the broiler until golden brown and blistered.
  • Remove each breast to a plate, spoon some of the pan drippings over each breast and immediately drizzle with some of the gastrique. Garnish with rosemary.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON



Chicken Breasts With Lemon image

In this recipe, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1992 in one of his 60-Minute Gourmet columns, two teaspoons of lemon zest are added to a simple sauce of lemon juice, thyme, garlic and shallots. It is, at once, lively and elegant. To round it out, it needs a sturdy accompaniment. Mr. Franey suggested mashed potatoes with garlic and basil, with just a little olive oil swirled in.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, times classics, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup flour for dredging
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken broth, fresh or canned
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chicken all over. Remove the excess flour.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Flip the chicken and cook for 5 minutes more, or until cooked through. Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken. Discard the oil.
  • Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute. Do not burn the garlic. Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the broth.
  • Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the chicken and the Roquefort cheese.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The wine will add flavor to the sauce, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. The recipe calls for thyme and rosemary, but you can use any herbs that you like. Some other good options include oregano, basil, and marjoram.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Roquefort lemon chicken is best when it is served hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roquefort lemon chicken is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, this dish is sure to be a hit.
