Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
  • Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
  • To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, RAMPS, AND GREEN OLIVES



Roasted Chicken with Lemon, Ramps, and Green Olives image

Ramps, with their wild, garlicky flavor, have become the seasonal poster child of spring, and for good reason. Here, they join tart lemon and briny green olives in a chicken dish that might become your new Passover favorite. Can't find ramps? Scallions work just as well.

Categories     Chicken     Roast     Passover     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds discarded
2 chickens (about 3 pounds each), quartered, or 4 bone-in, skin-on legs (drumsticks and thighs) and 4 bone-in, skin-on breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large bunch ramps or scallions, trimmed and halved lengthwise
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 shallots, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/3 cup pitted mild green olives (such as Castelvetrano), quartered lengthwise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
Fresh parsley leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry lemon slices until just beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reserve oil in pan.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Return pan to medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, cook chicken, without turning, until skin is nicely browned and crisped, 7-8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken, skin-side up, to a large roasting pan; repeat with remaining chicken. Reserve skillet (do not wash).
  • Arrange reserved lemon slices and ramps around chicken pieces. Transfer roasting pan to oven and cook until chicken is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F), 25-30 minutes. Transfer chicken, lemon slices, and ramps to a serving platter, reserving pan juices.
  • Heat reserved skillet over medium; add garlic and shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add olives and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring, until reduced by about half, 2-3 minutes. Using a spoon, transfer chicken juices from roasting pan to skillet and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce around chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.

Categories     Chicken     Olive     Roast     Quick & Easy     Lemon     Pan-Fry     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Roasted Lemons
12 thin lemon slices (from 2 lemons)
Olive oil
Chicken
4 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves
All purpose flour
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup sliced pitted green Sicilian olives or other brine-cured green olives
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, cut into 4 pieces
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For roasted lemons:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange lemon slices in single layer on prepared sheet. Brush lemon slices with olive oil; sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast until slightly dry and beginning to brown around edges, about 25 minutes. (Lemons can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to container. Cover; chill.)
  • For chicken:
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Heat 5 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Stir in olives and capers. Add stock and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Boil until liquid is reduced to syrup consistency, turning chicken over after 3 minutes, about 5 minutes. Add butter, roasted lemon slices, and 2 tablespoons parsley; simmer until butter melts and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lemons: Meyer lemons, Eureka lemons, and Lisbon lemons are all good choices for this recipe. Look for lemons that are bright yellow and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the lemons until they are caramelized: This will bring out their sweetness and flavor. Roast them for 30-45 minutes, or until they are dark brown and slightly wrinkled.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will help to create a flavorful sauce. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't crowd the chicken in the pan: If you crowd the chicken, it will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces of chicken so that they can all brown properly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: This dish is best served hot. Serve it with the roasted lemons, green olives, and capers.

Conclusion:

This chicken with roasted lemons, green olives, and capers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the roasted lemons, green olives, and capers add a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
