Roast Chicken With Onions And Parsley image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings or more

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups chopped fresh parsley or chervil leaves
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large chicken or capon, about 6 pounds, trimmed of excess fat
3 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced onions
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock or water

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup parsley, garlic and some salt and pepper, and rub this mixture all over the chicken. Put the chicken, breast side down, on a rack in a roasting pan and put the pan in the oven.
  • While it's roasting, melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat, then add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the remaining parsley and the stock.
  • After the chicken has roasted for about 20 minutes, spoon some of the onion mixture over it, then turn the bird breast side up. Top with more of the onion mixture, leaving some in the saucepan. Baste again after 10 minutes; at this point the breast should be beginning to brown (if it isn't, roast a few more minutes). Turn the heat down to 325 degrees, baste again, and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees. Total roasting time will be about an hour and a half.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour some or all of the pan juices into the saucepan with the remaining onion mixture and bring to a boil; reduce slightly if the mixture is thin. Carve the chicken and serve with the sauce.

CHICKEN WITH PURPLE ONIONS



Chicken With Purple Onions image

This is a gorgeous dish that is super simple and tastes delicious. If you want an impressive-looking dish, try this. I used to work at a great little health spa/resort where this was served regularly. I hope you enjoy it! (Note: You can use bottled Parmesan Cheese Dressing in place of the mixture here if you can find it.)

Provided by Munchkin Mama

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 large purple onions
8 ounces grated parmesan cheese (fresh is best)
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons parsley (fresh or dried- for color)
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup mayonnaise (not miracle whip)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (I use the dried version for this)
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Combine dressing ingredients and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Peel onions. Cut into six 1/2" thick slices and place on an ungreased baking sheet. (You want to cut them in the same direction that do when you trim off the ends so that you see the rings of the onions.) (Hope that makes sense). Save onion scraps for another use if desired.
  • Trim chicken of any visible fat and place in a single layer on onion slices, trimming and filling in as needed on each onion slice. (It's okay if the chicken hangs over the onion slightly).
  • Drizzle about 1 tablespoon dressing mixture over each serving.
  • Generously sprinkle on parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper to taste. Top with parsley. Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN COLOMBO WITH PURPLE JASMINE RICE



Chicken Colombo with Purple Jasmine Rice image

This recipe for chicken colombo with purple jasmine rice is courtesy of Alter Eco.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups purple rice, preferably Alter Eco, rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (14 ounces) peeled chopped tomatoes
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), cut into strips
2 tablespoons curry
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 pinches ground cinnamon
Cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place rice in a medium saucepan along with 1 3/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat; immediately reduce to low heat. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until golden brown. Add tomatoes, chicken, and sprinkle over curry powder; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring, until mixture has thickened and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes. Add coconut milk and stir until well combined; cook 5 minutes more. Sprinkle over cinnamon.
  • Divide rice evenly among 4 serving plates; top with chicken mixture. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are good options for this dish. If you're using bone-in chicken, you'll need to cook it for a longer period of time.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the chicken with flavor. You can use a variety of ingredients in your marinade, such as olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. If you're not sure if the chicken is cooked through, it's better to err on the side of caution and cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the chicken with a variety of sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice are all good options. You can also serve the chicken with a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken with purple onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its tender chicken, flavorful marinade, and caramelized onions, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give chicken with purple onions a try. You won't be disappointed!
