WEDDING CHICKEN
This is a very special recipe: I developed and wrote it for my wedding day. The marinade is fantastic: I've marinated chicken thighs in it for 24 hours, but 48 is optimal. Don't forget to serve with a few pieces of the roasted lemon-that's the best part.

Steps:
- Prepare the marinade: Using a spoon, scrape away the ginger peel, then slice into coins; stack the coins and cut into uniform matchsticks. Thinly slice the peppers and lemons; roughly chop the garlic. Set aside.
- Marinate the chicken: Place a zip-top bag into a baking dish and add the chicken, salt, sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Squeeze the juice from the sliced lemons into the bag, then add the lemons, garlic, ginger, peppers, thyme sprigs, and olive oil. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients inside the bag. Then seal the bag and chill for 12-48 hours to allow all the flavors to meld and permeate the chicken.
- Cook the chicken: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Evenly arrange chicken thighs skin side up in a roasting pan and pour marinade over the top. Season with salt and pepper and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. Serve with pan juices and pieces of the cooked lemon.

Steps:
- Whisk garlic, chiles, ginger, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, and salt in a medium bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Add lemon slices and thyme. Place marinade and chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Turn to coat, and chill at least 12 hours. Heat oven to 450°. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess, and place, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°, 25-30 minutes. Serve chicken with lemon wedges for squeezing over. DO AHEAD: Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
WEDDING CHICKEN
I modified this recipe from the B H & G cookbook for a friend's wedding. This recipe is really flavorful and the sauce is awesome! I would make some extra sauce on top of the stove because everyone will want more. The usual Chicken Saltimbocca recipes call for tomato inside, but my friends wouldn't hear of that, and no one really missed it. Baking the chicken instead of doing the whole thing on the stovetop gets the flavor of the sauce into the meat like you wouldn't believe! You could add some white wine to the sauce; just add extra flour for thickening. A little shredded cheese on top of the chicken before baking would be tasty, too. Word of advice - do not try to cater a wedding for 70 people from a 1 bedroom apartment. Also, it is really funny watching 5 people pound chicken on the living room floor (ON CUTTING BOARDS! EWWWW! No carpet fuzz in the recipe!) (Prep time/cook time is approximate - I made this for 70 people so it took me a couple of days to get all the steps done and I pre-cooked the chicken before I served it.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- First, buy your chicken pre-pounded.
- Pay the extra.
- It is worth it.
- If you decide to pound your own chicken, place the chicken breast smooth side facing you on a piece of plastic wrap.
- Fold the sides of the SAME PIECE of plastic wrap around the chicken and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet, a rolling pin or a cookbook.
- If you use a separate piece of plastic wrap, you run the risk of tiny little chicken guts all over you and your kitchen.
- Gross!
- Stomping on it will not work.
- Pound until 1/8" thin.
- Place pounded chicken smooth side down on the cutting board.
- Lay a piece of prosciutto on each piece of chicken.
- Lay a piece of cheese on each piece of chicken.
- Fold in the long sides of the chicken breast about 1/4" (just enough to keep the whole package together), then roll from the short end of the chicken breast like a cigar.
- Hold packet together with toothpicks.
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat until it sizzles, but is not smoking.
- Place chicken packets in pan FOLDED SIDE DOWN.
- Brown chicken packets on all sides evenly.
- Remove from pan and place in a baking dish.
- In the same pan, melt the butter over med-low heat.
- Add onions and garlic and cook until soft.
- Add mushrooms and cook until soft and slightly browned and tender.
- Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, mix cream, sour cream, flour and spices.
- Add to mushroom mixture in saute pan.
- Return pan to low heat.
- Stir over low heat until smooth and thick.
- Pour sauce over chicken.
- Put chicken and sauce into 400 degree oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until chicken is not longer pink (depending on how done it got during the browning stage).
- Serve with wide egg noodles and extra sauce.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality, fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so make sure to use fresh, high-quality chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Don't be afraid to experiment with different cooking methods to achieve different flavors and textures. For example, you can roast, grill, pan-fry, or braise your chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing or browning chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in soggy, undercooked chicken.
- Season your chicken generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken and make it more flavorful.
- Let your chicken rest before serving: After cooking your chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
