HERBED LEMON CHICKEN IN A CROCK POT / SLOW COOKER



Herbed Lemon Chicken in a Crock Pot / Slow Cooker image

This is a lemon herb garlic chicken dish which is made in a slow cooker to contain it's natural flavours. When we served it the meat fell away from the bone. If you wish to increase the celery and carrot you may do so without dramatically change the flavour of the dish. I normally remove the skin off the drumstick, which I recommended with this dish but feel free to leave it on. Everyone enjoyed it in our house hold, hope you will enjoy it.

ROASTED HERBED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND CREAMY LEMON SAUCE



Roasted Herbed Chicken With Potatoes and Creamy Lemon Sauce image

This is a recipe that has gradually evolved over several years at our house. My family loves this meal---the chicken is roasted on a broiler pan while thinly sliced potatoes are layered on the drip pan underneath. As the chicken cooks, the flavors drip down onto the potatoes; they're so delicious! The sauce is creamy and tangy and is great on both the chicken and the potatoes. We usually eat this with sauteed green beans on the side.

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 whole roasting chicken, butterflied (about 3 lbs)

1 tablespoon butter
2 -3 small shallots, minced
1 cup chicken stock
0.5 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 tablespoon sugar
1 dash balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven broiler, keeping oven door cracked.
  • Cut lemons in half. Cut the nub off so they can stand up in a small roasting pan, flesh side up. Season lemons with coarse salt.
  • Place under broiler, about 2 inches from heating element. Roast until the tops are browned and blistered, but not burned (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place butterflied chicken in mixing bowl, coat with olive oil. Season liberally with salt, pepper, Herbs de Provence, paprika and garlic powder, massaging into the entire surface, as well as under the skin.
  • Slice the potatoes in 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Place in another mixing bowl, lightly coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, Herbs and paprika.
  • Line the drip pan of a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in a single layer (okay if they overlap slightly) in the drip pan. Slice 6-8 cloves of garlic in half lengthwise and sprinkle over potatoes.
  • Place the broiler rack on top, arrange the chicken on top (skin side up). Place in oven with breast side toward the front of the oven. Cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until thigh meat reaches 180 degrees, breast 165 degrees. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, turn the oven up to 450 degrees to achieve the desired crispiness of skin.
  • To make sauce:
  • While the chicken is cooking, strain juice from roasted lemons and set aside.
  • Melt butter over medium heat in 10 inch saute pan. Saute shallots until soft and lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add roasted lemon juice and chicken stock, bring to boil. Lower heat, simmer and reduce by half. (This should take about 10-12 minutes).
  • Add cream of mushroom soup, heat through, add about 1 tablespoons sugar (more or less depending on acidity of the lemons). Add dash of balsamic vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with chicken and potatoes.

Provided by knitaholic

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons mrs. dash lemon pepper
1 tablespoon flour
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 medium fresh lemon
1 cup low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • On a large plate, combine Mrs. Dash seasoning with flour. Pat chicken dry and roll in flour mixture.
  • Heat butter in large skillet; add chicken and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side.
  • Meanwhile, remove zest from lemon, squeeze juice from lemon, and mix zest and juice with broth.
  • Pour over chicken, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove lid and cook for another 5 minutes or until juices run clear. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with skin and bones. Bone-in chicken adds flavor and keeps the meat moist during cooking.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps the herbs and spices adhere to the chicken and prevents the skin from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor. Common herbs used in lemon-herb chicken recipes include thyme, rosemary, sage, and oregano.
  • Season the chicken generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) helps to infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: To get crispy skin and tender meat, roast the chicken at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for the first 30 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Lemon-herb chicken is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful sauce, it's sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering. So next time you're looking for a simple yet delicious chicken recipe, give lemon-herb chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
