Categories     Dinner     Roast chicken

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 free-range chicken (approximately 1.5-1.7kg)
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper to taste (I used smoked salt)
6 sprigs fresh thyme
small handful fresh sage leaves
150 g butter
6 garlic cloves (peeled and halved)
juice of 1 lemon
handful fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200°c.
  • To prepare the chicken, cut the backbone out of the chicken using sharp kitchen scissors, to spatchcock the chicken and then carefully cut through the breastbone to produce two halves. (If you are squeamish, ask your butcher to do this bit for you.)
  • Heat a skiller or large oven-proof pan over high heat.
  • Drizzle the chicken with olive oil then season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken, breast and thigh side down in the hot pan and press down with another frying pan or foil-wrapped bricks to allow it to brown sufficiently. When the chicken is golden brown, flip it over and add the fresh herbs to the pan.
  • Allow to brown on the other side then place the chicken in the oven and allow to roast for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the oven then transfer to a plate and cover with foil to rest.
  • Place the skillet on the stove over medium heat. Melt the butter in the pan then add the garlic. Allow to butter to simmer very gently, taking care to not burn it, and allow the garlic to soften and cook.
  • When the garlic is cooked, add the lemon juice and parsley and stir through. Add any of the chicken juices that might have accumulated on the plate.
  • Serve the chicken with the garlic lemon butter and crusty bread.

Categories     30 Minute Meals

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons EACH: grated parmesan AND olive oil
½ teaspoon EACH garlic powder AND Italian seasoning
1 ¼ pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
¼ cup lemon juice + 1 lemon, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed into 4 pieces
12 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • CHICKEN: Add the flour, parmesan, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper to a shallow dish and whisk. Add each piece of chicken to the flour mixture and coat on both sides, dust off any excess flour. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken to the skillet and let cook for 4-6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Prepare the sauce while the chicken cooks. Remove chicken to a plate when cooked.
  • GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning and allow the mixture to reduce to 3 tablespoons. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and remove the pan from heat and swirl so the butter stars to melt. Place back on the heat for a few seconds, remove and continue to swirl until butter melts completely. Repeat with remaining tablespoons of butter. When butter is completely melted, remove sauce from stove; set aside.
  • ASSEMBLE: Add a small drizzle of oil to the pan you cooked the chicken in (if it needs it.) Add the lemon slices and push them around the pan with tongs to pick up all the bits left behind by the chicken. Add the green beans and sauté them for 3-5 minutes or until done to preference. Season with salt, pepper, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder. Pile the chicken on the green beans if you'd like or divide into personal servings. You can drizzle the sauce over the entire skillet or serve it on each individual serving!
