Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken ((as large as you can find))
1/2 garlic bulb (halved horizontally)
2 sprigs fresh tarragon (plus 1 Tbsp chopped tarragon)
3 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
1 shallot (finely chopped)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 lemon
Small white and/or red potatoes (halved)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together butter, shallot and chopped tarragon. Season chicken with salt and freshly ground pepper, then loosen skin of chicken near cavity with hands and spread the tarragon butter mixture under the skin, between the skin and the chicken meat.
  • Squeeze juice from the half lemon over the chicken, then place the squeezed lemon in the chicken cavity.
  • Place chicken into a greased skillet or baking pan. Arrange halved small potatoes around the outside of the chicken and season then with salt and pepper (if you place them skin down as much as possible, they will get lovely crispy and golden!).
  • Place in pre-heated oven and roast until the skin is deep golden and crispy and the meat temperature in the breast area reaches 165° , about 1 - 1 1/2 hours (depending on the size of your chicken).

TARRAGON CHICKEN WITH LEMON



Tarragon Chicken with Lemon image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 skinless chicken legs, skin removed (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dry white vermouth
1 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade
1 teaspoon cold water, more if needed
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a medium-large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper, and lay the pieces in the pan rounded-side down first (the side that had the skin). Cook the chicken, turning only once, until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to an oven-proof dish, reserving the skillet. Place the chicken to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 170 to 75 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour the vermouth into the reserved skillet, scraping up any browned bits that cling to the pan with a wooden spoon, and cook over medium heat until the liquid reduces by about half. Add the chicken broth and continue to cook until slightly thickened.
  • In a small bowl whisk a teaspoon or so of cold water with the cornstarch, then whisk the mixture into the broth and bring to a full boil. Remove from heat and add the zest, lemon juice, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven. Pour any pan drippings from the chicken into the sauce and stir to combine. Divide the chicken pieces between 4 plates. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.

SLOW-COOKER DIJON CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND MUSHROOMS



Slow-Cooker Dijon Chicken With Barley and Mushrooms image

This glossy, risottolike dish is inspired by the French bistro classic of chicken in tarragon-mustard sauce. Here, those flavors are transformed into a whole-grain, one-pot weeknight meal: The barley, mushrooms and chicken cook together first, then just before eating, finish with a bag of frozen peas and a tangy mixture of crème fraîche (or sour cream) and Dijon. Make the dish vegetarian by omitting the chicken and using your favorite vegetable broth, but add about ½ cup more liquid, to substitute for the chicken juices.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, grains and rice, poultry, main course

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups pearled barley
1 pound sliced cremini mushrooms
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
1/4 cup dry white wine
6 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
4 thyme sprigs, leaves picked (about 2 teaspoons), or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Black pepper
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen peas
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2 heaping tablespoons smooth Dijon mustard, plus more to taste
1/3 to ½ cup chopped fresh tarragon or dill, to taste
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the barley, mushrooms, chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, thyme, salt, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine, then cook for 3 hours on high.
  • At first it will seem like there is too much liquid, but the dish will thicken as it cools, and as you stir. Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through, about 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche and mustard, then fold it into the barley mixture. The chicken thighs should be falling apart; break them into coarse chunks with a spatula. Taste and add more mustard for a stronger flavor, if desired. Stir in the chopped tarragon and serve. Pass Parmesan at the table for topping.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH TARRAGON



Roast Chicken With Tarragon image

Provided by Barbara Kafka

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 5-pound chicken
1 lemon, halved
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 bunches fresh tarragon ( 3/4 ounce each); stem one of the bunches and leave the other intact
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove fat from the crop and cavity of the chicken. Remove the neck, gizzards and liver and freeze for another use.
  • Squeeze half the lemon all over the skin of the chicken. Season the skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the remaining half lemon, garlic and 1 bunch whole tarragon.
  • Put the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side up, and roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the juices run clear. During the first few minutes, either shake the chicken or move it frequently with a wooden spoon to keep it from sticking.
  • When chicken is done, tilt it over the roasting pan to let the cavity juices run into the pan. Remove the chicken to a platter. Pour off the fat from the roasting pan.
  • Put the pan on top of the stove. Add the wine and bring the contents of the pan to a boil, while scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in tarragon leaves. Let simmer 5 minutes once the pan is thoroughly deglazed. Serve the pan juices over the chicken or pass it separately in a sauce boat.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the chicken easier to cook and will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Marinate the chicken in the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for garlic lemon chicken include rice, potatoes, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Garlic lemon chicken with tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
