Categories Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

8 chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks), bone-in, skin-on
2 small onions, cut into quarters
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled, bashed
1 lemon, sliced and pips removed
500g asparagus, woody ends trimmed
100g fresh or frozen peas
1 heaped tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp olive oil
100ml chicken stock
25g butter
crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Arrange the chicken pieces, onion wedges, garlic, lemon slices, asparagus and peas in a roasting tin in a single layer, then sprinkle over the oregano, drizzle with the olive oil and pour over the stock. Give everything a good stir to mix well, then dot the butter over the chicken pieces and season well. Cover the whole tin with foil and bake for 30 mins.
Remove the foil and bake for 20-30 mins more until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, and the vegetables are tender.
Heat the grill to high. Put the tin under the grill for a few minutes to crisp up the chicken skin, if needed, being careful not to let the asparagus catch. Serve straight from the tin, or on a platter, with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

LEMON-ASPARAGUS SPAGHETTI WITH BASIL CHICKEN

Lemon-Asparagus Spaghetti with Basil Chicken image

My version of lemon-asparagus spaghetti served with chicken and pesto.

Provided by Libby Quijano

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

½ (16 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup basil pesto, or to taste
1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ medium lemon, juiced
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving some pasta water.
While spaghetti is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip, add a dollop of pesto to each breast, and continue to cook, flipping as needed, until no longer pink in the centers, 7 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Heat remaining oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 1 to 3 minutes, depending how tender you like it. Add garlic, pepper flakes, and lemon juice; cook for 1 minute. Add cooked spaghetti, a dollop of pesto, and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese melts. Add a tablespoon of the reserved pasta water if cheese begins to stick to the pan.
Chop chicken and add on top of spaghetti. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

For a more flavorful dish, use fresh lemon juice and zest instead of bottled.
If you don't have asparagus, you can substitute another green vegetable, such as broccoli or green beans.
To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the pan after the chicken and asparagus have been removed.
Serve the chicken and asparagus over rice, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This one-pan lemon garlic chicken and asparagus is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and juicy, the asparagus is crisp-tender, and the lemon garlic sauce is flavorful and delicious. Plus, it's all made in one pan, so cleanup is a breeze!
