THE SILVER PALATE'S CHICKEN MARBELLA



The Silver Palate's Chicken Marbella image

If there's such a thing as boomer cuisine, it can be found in the pages of "The Silver Palate Cookbook" by Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso. With its chirpy tone and "Moosewood"-in-the-city illustrations, the book, published in time for Mother's Day in 1982, gave millions of home cooks who hadn't mastered the art of French cooking the courage to try sophisticated dishes like escabeche, wild mushroom soup and that new thing called pesto. This recipe, also in the book, came to The Times in a 2007 article celebrating the 25th anniversary edition. The briny-sweet combination once seemed as risky (capers! prunes!) as the East Village, but now it's considered as classic as Grand Central.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup pitted prunes
1/2 cup pitted Spanish green olives
1/2 cup capers, with a bit of juice
6 bay leaves
1 head of garlic, peeled and puréed
1/2 cup fresh oregano, chopped, or 1/4 cup dried oregano
2 teaspoons of salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 chickens, 3 1/2 to 4 pounds each, quartered
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and juice, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan; spoon the marinade over it evenly. Pour in the wine and sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar.
  • Bake until the thigh pieces yield clear yellow juice when pricked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes, basting two or three times with the pan juices once the chicken begins to brown. (When basting, do not brush off the sugar. If the chicken browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil.)
  • Transfer the chicken pieces to a warm serving platter and top with the prunes, olives and capers; keep warm. Place the roasting pan over medium heat and bring the pan juices to a boil. Reduce to about 1/2 cup. Strain into a heatproof bowl, add the parsley and pour over the chicken.

CHICKEN MONTEREY (SILVER PALATE)



Chicken Monterey (Silver Palate) image

This tastes like summer to me, and living in the often gray Pacific Northwest, I make it frequently to brighten things up. We usually serve this with lots of crusty bread, but the sauce would be terrific on pasta as well. Compliments of the Silver Palate Cookbook.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons best quality olive oil (I usually use half the oil called for with fine results)
1 (2 1/2-3 lb) whole chickens, quartered (I often use 4 half breasts)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped, about 1 cup
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 sweet red pepper, cut into julienne
1/2 large zucchini, sliced diagonally
1/2 large yellow squash, sliced diagonally
1/3 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped (garnish)
1 orange, zest of, grated

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Pat chicken pieces dry, season with salt and pepper, and cook gently for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, season again, and cook for another 5 minutes. Do not attempt to brown chicken as it will continue to cook in the sauce and you don't want it to overcook (chicken should be dark golden in color) Remove chicken from skillet and reserve.
  • Add the onions, carrots and garlic to the oil remaining in the skillet and cook, covered, over medium low heat until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. (I usually only spend 10-15 on this step).
  • Uncover skillet and add the stock, orange juice, tomatoes and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and simmer the mixture, uncovered for 10-15 minutes.
  • Return chicken pieces to the pan and simmer further, 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly done and the sauce reduced. Baste the pieces with the sauce and turn them once at the 15 minute mark.
  • Heat remaining 2 T of olive oil in another skillet and saute the peppers for 5 minutes. Add the sliced squash and season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat and toss the vegetables in the oil until they are tender but firm.
  • Transfer vegetables to the skillet with the chicken and simmer together for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and orange zest and serve.

CHICKEN MARBELLA - SILVER PALATE COOKBOOK



Chicken Marbella - Silver Palate Cookbook image

This is from the Silver Palate Cookbook, and I love their food. I have seen this recipe for years and finally decided to try it and I am so glad I did! Prunes, capers and olives just didn't sound good, but I was SO wrong! I usually use legs and thighs, marinate them for about 6 hours in a plastic zip-top bag, and turn them every couple of hours. Only change I made was using 2 heads of roasted garlic instead of the 1 head of raw garlic. (that's HEAD, not clove.) I always use skin on, they brown and caramelize to a rich deep color. I urge you to try this...be brave and do it, you will be pleasantly suprised! : ) This makes a large amount, you can easily halve this recipe. Prep time does not include marinating time. Hope you enjoy! Correction...For the large quantity...it IS 4 2 1/2 lbs.chicken, sorry for ommision of the 4 in the original post. But Zaar won't let me put 4 chickens in the recipe.

PICNIC LEMON CHICKEN (ADAPTED FROM SILVER PALATE'S RECIPE) RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Picnic Lemon Chicken (adapted from Silver Palate's recipe) Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Talk2usoon

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chickens (2 to 2 1/2 pounds each), cut into quarters*
2 cups fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 10 lemons)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons coarse salt or sea salt
2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika
1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable or corn oil
1/4 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 lemons, sliced paper thin

Steps:

  • Preparation: In a bowl or re-sealable plastic bag, combine chicken pieces and lemon juice. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain chicken thoroughly and pat dry. Fill a plastic bag with flour, salt, paprika, and pepper; shake well to mix. Put two (2) pieces of chicken into the bag at a time and shake, coating completely. Heat vegetable or corn oil in large frying pan or cast-iron frying pan until hot and fry chicken pieces, a few at a time, until well browned and crisp. NOTE: This will take about 10 minutes per batch. Arrange browned chicken in a single layer in a large shallow baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. Pour chicken stock around chicken pieces. Set a thin lemon slice on top of each piece of chicken. Bake chicken, uncovered, approximately 40 to 50 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. (juices will run clear when cut with the tip of a knife). Remove from oven and transfer to a serving platter. May be served warm or cold. Makes 6 to 8 servings

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a deep purple or green color. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any signs of decay.
  • Use a variety of figs. This recipe calls for a mix of black and white figs, but you can use any variety that you like. Different varieties of figs will have different flavors and textures, so experiment until you find a combination that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so it's important to cook them until they are just cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with a variety of sides. This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken with Figs is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of sweet figs and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. With its simple ingredients and elegant presentation, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
