MOM'S COMFORT CHICKEN

My mom made this for me each time she came out to help after the birth of my children. She did the cooking and made this wonderful, simple and super tasty dish! I still make this a lot on cool nights. Very comforting and can be done super quickly. My kids love it too if I don't spice it up too much. I like to add a few shakes of crushed red peppers to the dish. We usually serve this over rice but I bet serving it over egg noodles would be great too!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chile flakes
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 cloves garlic, smashed
One 4- to 6-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, you'll want to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously. The seasonings will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a good body.
  • Add vegetables to the soup: Vegetables will add flavor, nutrients, and color to the soup. Choose vegetables that you like and that will complement the flavor of the chicken.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
  • Serve the soup hot: Chicken soup is best served hot. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
