ROASTED GARLIC-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH LEMON-HERB SAUCE



Roasted Garlic-Glazed Chicken With Lemon-Herb Sauce image

Recipe courtesy From Emeril's Kitchens, by Emeril Lagasse. Different way of preparing chicken and best part is that it's all done in 1 or 2 pans depending on how large of an oven proof skillet you have. The herbs and the garlic glaze are just heavenly to smell and devour. This was a huge hit in my home and even the kid enjoyed it. Prep time includes the 1 hour for roasting the garlic as this can be done ahead of time.

Categories     #cook90     Sauce     Quick & Easy     Garlic     Parsley     Mint     Herb     Lemon

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head of garlic, separated into cloves, unpeeled
2 cups (packed) parsley leaves with tender stems
1 cup (packed) mint leaves
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (from about 1/2 large lemon)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 large lemon)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat a medium, dry, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium. Roast garlic, stirring occasionally, until skins have darkened on all sides and cloves inside are soft, 12-15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Peel away skins and discard; transfer cloves to a blender. Add parsley, mint, oil, lemon zest and juice, red pepper, and salt. Blend until a pesto-like sauce forms.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sauce can be made 5 days ahead; store in an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest herbs possible: Fresh herbs will provide the best flavor for your sauce. If you can, grow your own herbs or purchase them from a farmers market.
  • Roast the garlic before using it: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it sweeter. You can roast garlic in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of herbs: The more herbs you use, the more complex the flavor of your sauce will be. Some good choices include basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
  • Don't overcook the herbs: Overcooked herbs will lose their flavor. Add them to the sauce towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and then add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic herb sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for chicken, fish, vegetables, and pasta. It can also be used as a dipping sauce or spread. With its rich, flavorful taste, roasted garlic herb sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
