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.

LEMON TARRAGON CHICKEN



Lemon Tarragon Chicken image

This is yummy, quick and easy. I got the recipe from Publix Apron's Simple Meals series. I used flour instead of cornstarch and added a little bit more wine because I had a little more chicken. You can also use fresh tarragon if you have it. I served this with orzo with chopped sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli. I just added the sun-dried tomatoes and broccoli to the water that the orzo was boiling in. Very easy side dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the Best Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and tender results.
  • Fresh Herbs are Key: Use fresh tarragon and lemon zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming dry.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Rest: Before slicing and serving, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

This marinated chicken in a lemon and tarragon dressing is a flavorful and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The marinade infuses the chicken with a zesty and herbaceous flavor, while the searing creates a crispy golden-brown crust. Served with a simple salad and roasted vegetables, this dish is a healthy and delicious option for any occasion.
