SPICY GINGER AND LEMON CHICKEN



Spicy Ginger and Lemon Chicken image

This piquant chicken dish was brought to The Times in 1993 by the legendary French chef, Jacques Pépin. It is made with chicken legs that are skinned and then cooked with lemon and orange peels, fresh ginger, chile powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic and apple cider - a sweet and spicy mixture that pairs beautifully with the rich, dark meat of the chicken. It can be made ahead and reheated, so it makes a perfect dinner party entree.

AMAZING ITALIAN LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN



Amazing Italian Lemon Butter Chicken image

About eight years ago, a dear Italian woman introduced me to this dish. She has since passed away and taken her recipes with her, as she had nothing written down. This is the closest of all my attempts to duplicate her dish. It is delicious and easier to make than it looks.

Provided by URBANCHICK

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup white wine
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup butter, chilled
salt and pepper to taste
½ pound dry farfalle (bow tie) pasta
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces bacon
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and halved
2 teaspoons capers, drained
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, pour the wine and lemon juice into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook at a low boil until the liquid is reduced by 1/3. Stir in cream, and simmer until it thickens. Gradually add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time to the sauce, stirring until completely incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside.
  • To make the chicken, heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, stir together flour, salt, and pepper. Lightly coat chicken with flour mixture. Without crowding, carefully place chicken in hot oil. (If necessary, cook in batches.) Fry until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken to paper towels. Stir the bacon, mushrooms, artichokes, and capers into the oil; cook until the mushrooms are soft.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-size strips, and return them to the skillet. Stir half of the lemon butter sauce into the chicken mixture.
  • To serve, place pasta in a large bowl. Stir the chicken mixture into the pasta. Taste, and adjust seasonings. Stir in additional lemon butter sauce as desired. Toss well, and garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose a Good Quality Chicken: The quality of your chicken will greatly impact the overall taste of the dish. Look for free-range, organic chicken that has been raised without antibiotics or hormones.
  • Tenderize the Chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to tenderize them and make them more evenly cooked.
  • Use Fresh Ginger and Lemon: Fresh ginger and lemon zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. Make sure to use freshly grated ginger and zest the lemon just before using.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is best when cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking can dry out the chicken and make it tough.
  • Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the chicken.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: Lemon-ginger chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Lemon-ginger chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tangy lemon and spicy ginger creates a flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with tender chicken. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
