JALAPENO ROAST CHICKEN



Jalapeno Roast Chicken image

This is a very tasty recipe we found in the recent People Magazine, in their Cinco De Mayo recipes. My wife and I loved it, pairing it with http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/red-potato-and-green-bean-saute-365051. On a side note, we've all but quit using salt in our cooking. The original recipe actually called for 1 tsp salt in step number 2, but we left it out.

Provided by Shaggy Red Chef

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup fresh oregano
1 shallot
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed and seeded
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (5 1/2 lb) whole chickens
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Combine oregano, shallot, garlic, butter, olive oil, the jalapeno and pepper in a food processor and mix until until it's a paste.
  • Pat the chicken dry and place breast-side up on a rack in a large roasting pan.
  • Carefully loosen the skin from the chicken breast, legs and thighs without detaching it (I had to use a small knife at some points, but do so carefully so you don't accidentally pierce the skin.
  • Spread about 1/2 of the jalapeno paste under the skin.
  • Tie the legs together and spread the rest of the paste on the outside of the chicken.
  • Pour the chicken broth and wine into the roasting pan.
  • Roast the chicken for 1 hours 30 minutes (or until fully cooked), while basting with pan juices every 15-20 minutes. If the juices start to run out, add more chicken broth and wine to the pan.
  • ***Optional*** After the chicken was finished, we poured a little of the juices from the pan on the chicken after it was cut and plated.

JALAPENO-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST



Jalapeno-Stuffed Chicken Breast image

Turn up the heat at your dinner table with grilled, stuffed chicken breasts filled with a mixture of jalapeno peppers and two types of cheese.

Provided by JGesq

Categories     Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium jalapeno peppers
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ small onion, chopped
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
cooking spray
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place jalapeno peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power until soft but still plump, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard seeds. Dice peppers.
  • Mix diced peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, onion, cream cheese, garlic, and cumin together in a bowl.
  • Make a pocket in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut through the sides or bottom, as follows: Make a vertical slice in the top center of each breast, starting about 1/2 inch in from each edge. Starting inside the vertical slit, cut horizontally into the chicken breast in both directions; this should leave you with a nice pocket.
  • Press 1/4 of the pepper-cheese mixture into each breast. Close and secure with toothpicks. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray and season with salt.
  • Place chicken on the preheated grill with toothpicks facing upwards. Grill for 12 minutes, then turn and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove toothpicks before serving.
