Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme
One 8-ounce can lemon-lime malt beverage
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole chicken
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry all around, then pat it dry again. Rub with the oil all over and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken over the can, through the back end with the neck up. Place in a small pan.
  • Grill and glaze the chicken. Heat a grill for cooking with indirect heat to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the pan over the side of the grill with indirect heat and cook, brushing the chicken with the glaze every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature is around 155 degrees F, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove and slightly tent with aluminum foil to rest and let the temperature rise to 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Carve and serve.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon turmeric
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon hot Hungarian paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch sections
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon sugar
2 frozen ginger pods (or 2 inches ginger, grated)
2 frozen garlic pods (or 2 cloves garlic, grated)
3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more to garnish
2 cups cooked basmati rice

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a bowl, add the yogurt, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir until everything is one color. Scoop into a large resealable bag and add the chicken. Leave on the counter at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • To cook the chicken: In a large pan with straight sides on medium-high heat, add the butter and then the chicken chunks from the bag, discarding the marinade. Cook, turning, until some parts are browned but most are still white, about 8 minutes.
  • For the sauce. Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, ginger and garlic to the pan. Things should be bubbly and hot. Stir to marry everything and when the pan smells like garlic and ginger, add the heavy cream and stir again until everything is the same color. Partially cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
  • For serving: Stir in the cilantro and serve over rice with another sprinkle of cilantro.

HONEY DIJON CHICKEN



Honey Dijon Chicken image

I usually buy chicken breasts from those wholesale places. They are packed boneless, skinless and frozen. The other night I had no idea what to do for dinner and found a delightful recipe on the bag of chicken breasts. This recipe does not require that the chicken be defrosted, it requires minimal work and the chicken came out moist and juicy.

Provided by PaulaG

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 55m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
4 thin lemon slices
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon curry powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with foil; spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Rinse the frozen chicken pieces under lukewarm water to remove the ice glaze, pat dry.
  • Place chicken on prepared foil pan and sprinkle with paprika, top with lemon slices.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by placing remaining ingredients in a small microwave safe bowl and mixing thoroughly.
  • Prior to spooning over chicken, microwave sauce for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
  • After the breasts have baked for 30 minutes, drain and discard juices from baking pan.
  • Remove the lemon slices and spoon the heated sauce over the chicken.
  • Return to oven and continue baking for 1o to 15 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Dijon mustard. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the chicken.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it is cooking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This Sunny's Honey Dijon Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the honey Dijon sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
