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.

LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN WITH SPICED SPINACH



Lemon and Garlic Chicken With Spiced Spinach image

This is a heavenly combination; I'm not sure what I like best, the subtly spiced spinach or the chicken. They make a great combo. When you add the rinsed spinach to the pan after cooking the chicken it will wilt in the liquid left on the leaves after washing, and it will deglaze the pan at the same time.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (most weigh 8 to 10 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced or pureed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 generous bunch spinach, stemmed and washed well in 2 changes water, or 2 6-ounce bags baby spinach, washed
2 allspice berries, lightly toasted and ground
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds or cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour such as rice flour or corn flour
2 tablespoons grapeseed, sunflower or canola oil

Steps:

  • Stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if they are 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Combine ground allspice, coriander or cumin, and cinnamon in a small bowl or ramekin and set aside.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
  • Season pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you won't use all of it).
  • Turn oven on low. Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add the oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding the pan. Cook for for 1 1/2 minutes until bottom is browned in spots. Turn over and brown on other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. If there is more than a tablespoon of fat in the pan, pour some (but not all) of it off into a jar or bowl.
  • Turn burner heat down to medium. Add ground spices to the pan and when they begin to sizzle add spinach and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and deglazing the bottom of the pan with the liquid that comes off the spinach, until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a platter or to plates and serve with the chicken.

SPICY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS



Spicy Glazed Chicken Breasts image

This one-skillet chicken has a spicy, pleasantly tart and punchy glaze that's built on frying a little tomato paste in garlic- and almond-infused oil, then deglazing with lemon juice. It tastes like you sun-dried lots of tomatoes for weeks. (But you don't need to do that.) The final flourish is the crunchy fried almonds and garlic. You could skip them, but they add a special touch that belies how fast the dish comes together. Besides chicken, the dish also can be made with any other ingredient that browns well, like tofu or even broccoli.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1½ to 2 pounds total)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sliced almonds
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste (preferably double concentrate)
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
  • Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
  • With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
  • Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.

Tips for Making Spicy Garlic Chicken with Lemon Glaze

- To achieve crispy chicken, ensure that the chicken is well-coated in cornstarch before frying. - For a more intense flavor, use freshly minced garlic and ginger instead of pre-packaged or store-bought options. - Adjust the spiciness level by adding more or less chili flakes or cayenne pepper. - If you want a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce for a longer period until it reaches the desired consistency. - For a sweeter glaze, add honey or maple syrup to taste. - Serve the chicken with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
