ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Chicken With Lemon Cream Sauce image

I love the smell of chicken roasting in the oven. It makes me think of holidays and family gatherings! Plus I can put it in the oven and concentrate on other things for a while....just enjoying the smell! Don't use a fryer...roasting chickens are a bit larger and have a higher fat content, making them more flavorful.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 lbs roasting chickens
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup mixed fresh basil, oregano, and thyme sprigs (mix depending on the spices you flavor...I like basil more!)
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon orange rind, grated
1 tablespoon lemon rind, grated
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh not bottled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup whipping cream (I have substituted fat free half and half at times with success, although not quite as thick a sauce)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Remove the giblets and neck and rinse the chicken with cold water; pat dry. Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Place a mixture of the fresh herbs in the cavity. Tie the ends of the legs together with string. Lift the wingtips up and over the back, and tuck under the bird.
  • Place the chicken on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Insert a meat thermometer into a meaty portion of the thigh, making sure it doesn't touch bone.
  • Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the thermometer registers 180 degrees. Remove the chicken from the roasting pan, discarding the drippings.
  • About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, start your lemon cream sauce. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sherry and the next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Gradually stir in the whipping cream; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Cut the chicken into serving pieces, and return to the roasting pan. Pour the lemon Cream Sauce over the chicken; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat (with an electric door partially open) 3 to 4 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1 ½ medium lemons
1 cup chicken stock, or more as needed
2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
1 pound uncooked shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 teaspoon dried parsley, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 medium tomatoes, cubed

Steps:

Turn heat off, add tomatoes, and cover with a lid until the heat softens the tomatoes.
  • Drain pasta and return to its pan. Add shrimp and tomato mixture and mix to combine. You may take out the lemon slices and squeeze the juice out of them or simply keep them mixed in.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Season your chicken and shrimp well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper to season your chicken and shrimp. This will help to bring out their natural flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken and shrimp, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken and shrimp until they're cooked through: Be sure to cook the chicken and shrimp until they're cooked through. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: When you're making the lemon cream sauce, make sure it's thick enough to coat the chicken and shrimp. If it's too thin, it will just run off of the food.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken and shrimp will be most tender and flavorful when they're hot out of the pan.

Conclusion:

This chicken and shrimp with lemon cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to impress your friends and family at your next dinner party. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
