Figandlemonchicken Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the lemon zest, thyme, rosemary and salt.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the lemon slices in the olive oil down the middle of the tray as a "rack" for the chicken. Sprinkle one-third of the salt rub on the underside of the chicken. Turn the chicken over and rub the remaining salt mixture over and under the skin of the whole chicken. Lay the chicken, skin side up, on the bed of lemons and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast, basting every 15 minutes, until golden brown and an instant read thermometer read 160 degrees F in the thigh, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, using a fork, mash the lemon pulp into the juices on the baking sheet, discarding the rind. Mix the pulp into the drippings and use this mixture to spoon over the chicken just before serving.

Steps:

• Add the chicken to the frying pan and coat with the lemon sauce.
• Serve on top of rice. (We garnished ours with green onions and sesame seeds.)
