Four-Step Lemon-Onion Chicken image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 8 ounces each), sliced in half horizontally
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small bunch fresh thyme, leaves chopped
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 9-ounce bag spinach

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with the dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Working in batches, dredge the chicken in the flour and add to the pan; saute until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with aluminum foil.
  • Add the red onion and fresh thyme to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until aromatic, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine the wine, chicken broth and the juice of 1 lemon in a bowl. Turn the heat under the pan to high and deglaze with the broth mixture, scraping up the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid starts to reduce, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, put the spinach in a microwave-safe dish and add 3 tablespoons water; cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until hot and wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and toss with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter, the juice of the remaining lemon, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a platter and top with the chicken. Spoon the sauce on top.

I found this recipe in the local newspaper's food section, and we loved it. I enjoy citrusy foods and this hit the spot!

Provided by TasteTester

Categories     Poultry

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sweet onion, coarsely chopped and carmelized
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lime
2 teaspoons garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Place onions in pan and cook until the onions are soft and translucent. Turn the heat down to low and leave, cooking, until the rest of the recipe is done, stirring occasionally.
  • Place the chicken breast halves, one at a time, between layers of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound each breast half so that it is an even 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil in an extra-deep, 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Meanwhile, cut the lime in half and cut 1 of the halves into 4 wedges. Set the wedges aside.
  • Turn the chicken over and squeeze the juice from the lime half evenly over the chicken. Continue to cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Put the chicken on 4 serving plates.
  • Add the garlic to the hot skillet and stir constantly until the garlic is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the carmelized onions to the browned garlic, and mix together. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 cup onion and garlic mixture.

A dish for relaxed dinner parties, easy and different

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 limes , halved
2kg chicken
8 garlic cloves , 4 whole, 4 chopped
1 chilli , deseeded and chopped
large piece ginger
small bunch coriander stalks
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
sliced cucumber , shredded spring onions and coriander sprigs, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Squeeze all the limes into a bowl and pop the lime halves into the chicken cavity with the whole garlic, half the chilli, half the ginger and the coriander stalks. Place the chicken in a roasting tin and roast for 1 hr.
  • While the chicken is roasting, make a sticky glaze. Add the remaining garlic, chilli, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce to the lime juice and use a hand blender or small blender to blitz until smooth. Transfer to a small pan and reduce until thick enough to coat the chicken.
  • When the chicken has been cooking for 1 hr, tip some water into the bottom of the tin. Pour half the glaze over the chicken and continue to roast for 45 mins more, covering with foil if it starts to brown too quickly. When cooked, leave to the side to rest.
  • Pour the juices from the roasting tray, discarding the fat, into the rest of the glaze and pour into a small pan. Simmer over a low heat and taste, adding more sugar or fish sauce if it needs it. Serve the chicken with the cucumber, spring onions and coriander around it and the gravy on the side.
