SARASOTA'S SAVORY ROASTED CHICKEN, APPLES & ONIONS



Sarasota's Savory Roasted Chicken, Apples & Onions image

Easy flavorful roasted chicken with very little work. This is very versatile as in any cut of chicken will work with this recipe, bone in or not, skin on or not, even a whole chicken, but obviously cooking times will differ. Also, this not a dish that will do well in the crock pot. The key to this dish is the apple glaze on the chicken so don't skip it. The glaze gives a nice golden brown crisp crust which is why this dish really needs to be cooked in the oven. Now for the sauce, I use a mix of white wine and apple cider, but you can use chicken stock instead of either one, but those 2 ingredients make this dish special. Serve this with noodles or wild rice; but I prefer serving this over mashed parsnips or even a simple baked sweet potato on the side.

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 Thighs, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 -10 chicken thighs (I prefer bone in, but skinless)
4 apples, cut in thick wedges (you don't want a soft apple like McIntosh, I like a Gala or Fuji apple)
6 -8 small onions (cut in half or quarters depending on the size)
1/2 cup white wine (you can always sub with chicken broth)
1 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt
pepper
2 -3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup apple jelly
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Glaze -- Add the jelly, garlic and thyme to a small measuring cup and microwave for just 30 seconds on medium. This will warm it up just enough so the jelly is easier to brush on the chicken.
  • Chicken -- Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Season well with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Apples -- Slice the apples, peels on, but you can peel them if you want and toss with lemon juice. This will just prevent them from browning.
  • Casserole -- In a 13x9" pan, spray well with a non-stick spray and add the chicken. Add the apples and onions around the chicken. Mix the wine, cider, salt and pepper and pour over the apples and onions. Break up the sprigs of thyme and lay around the chicken.
  • Glaze -- Brush each of the chicken thighs with the glaze.
  • Bake -- Middle shelf in the oven at 375 degrees, uncovered. They will take about 30 minutes, but this will depend on what type and size of chicken parts you are using. As the chicken cooks, make sure to glaze the chicken at least one more time.
  • Serve -- As I mentioned, I prefer mashed parsnips or even a baked sweet potato, but, it is up to you. Most of the sauce will have cooked down, but you can always use any leftover sauce over the onions and apples. ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S ROASTED TOMATO, ONION AND MUSHROOM SALAD



Sarasota's Roasted Tomato, Onion and Mushroom Salad image

Crisp romaine topped with warm roasted vegetables makes this a wonderful salad. Most people are used to the "standard" salad with chilled vegetables and a dressing. This really just just gives a new taste to salads. A great twist on classic salad ingredients. And please feel free to add local fresh ingredients. Zuchinni, summer squash, asparagus, beans, or any local fresh ingredients of your choice.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 30m

Yield 6 Salads, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

16 grape tomatoes (cut in half)
1 large onion (cut in half and thin sliced)
16 cremini mushrooms, cut in quarters (button or white mushrooms work well too)
2 heads romaine lettuce hearts
1/2 cup black olives, cut in half (chilled)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey (I add more, but add as much as you like according to taste)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Romaine -- This to me is key -- I rough chop the romaine (not a final chop for the salad) and place in a large bowl with ice water. Yes, ice cubes and water. I want it icy cold so the romaine is very crisp. Just 15 minutes or so as the vegetables roast. This gets the lettuce nice and crispy for the salad which to me really makes this salad the best. Once the vegetables are done, remove the lettuce and drain well, dry off with just paper towels, and chop further for the salad and set to the side in a large bowl to be dressed.
  • Vegetables -- In a large bowl add the mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well. Heat the oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, foil will work just fine as well. Add the vegetables to the baking of cookie sheet and cook 15-20 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften and onions are slightly brown.
  • Dressing -- As the vegetables cook, make the dressing. I like to use a small tupperware or small measuring cup. Just add all the ingredients, mix well, and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium heat. DONE!
  • Salad -- Just add the roasted warm vegetables to the chilled lettuce, warm dressing and the chilled olives and mix. Serve immediately.
  • Serve with a baguette toasted with melted cheese and roasted garlic. A favorite. As I roasted the vegetables, I also roasted a few garlic cloves and then I spread the soft cloves on the bread and then topped with havarti cheese and bake until melted. What a simple nice side to the warm salad.
