Steps:
- Make chicken:
- Mix 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons parsley, lemon peel and minced garlic in large glass baking dish. Whisk in 6 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add chicken. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate chicken overnight, turning once.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove chicken from marinade. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook chicken until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to large bowl.
- Add carrots, sliced garlic and oregano to pot. Sauté over medium-high heat until garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Add wine and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock. Return chicken to pot. Place pot in oven. Bake uncovered until chicken is cooked through, turning chicken occasionally, about 35 minutes.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken, carrots and sliced garlic to large bowl. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Boil cooking liquid over medium-high heat until reduced to 3 cups, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour 1 cup reduced cooking liquid into small bowl. Set aside.
- Return cooking liquid remaining in pot to simmer. Add mustard greens. Cook until greens are tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in green onions, dill, Dijon mustard and remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Cover and keep warm.
- Make avgolemono sauce:
- Whisk lemon juice and cornstarch in another small bowl to blend. Whisk egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and pinch of salt in medium stainless steel bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in egg yolks, then lemon juice mixture. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Gradually add reserved 1 cup cooking liquid, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Add sauce to mustard greens; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour sauce and mustard greens over chicken and serve.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for even cooking and to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Brown the chicken in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure even cooking.
- Simmer the chicken in the broth for at least 30 minutes, or until it is cooked through. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
- Add the vegetables to the pot during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking so that they are cooked through but still retain their crispness.
- Make sure to season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the chicken fricassee over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
