Lemon Chicken With White Wine Herb Pan Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• One by one, place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, or inside of a resealable plastic bag, and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan until about 1/2-inch thick. In a glass baking dish, combine the zest and all but 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice with 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the shallot, garlic, and a little more than 2 tablespoons of each of the chopped fresh herbs. (Reserve the remaining chopped herbs.) Add the pounded chicken breasts to the herb mixture and turn to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator to marinate, at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook, turning once, until cooked through and golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Cook the breasts 2 at a time if the pan is too small. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and the white wine to the pan, scraping to loosen any brown bits, and reduce until almost dry. Add the chicken broth and reduce by half, then off the heat add the reserved herbs and cold butter, swirling to melt the butter and thicken the sauce. Pour over the chicken paillards and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Mix herbs, garlic and zest into softened butter. Pat chicken dry and place in a roasting pan. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the herb mixture and spread the rest over the chicken. Stuff the quartered lemon into the cavity, and if desired, tie the chicken's legs together. Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees. Cover very loosely with foil if the skin is browning too quickly. Roast for about an hour, until the thigh wiggles freely and the temp of the inner thigh registers 165 degrees. Take out the pan and tip the chicken to pour the juices from the cavity into the pan, then transfer the chicken to a platter. Pour the wine and stock into the roasting pan, and scrape the pan to loosen any browned bits. Pour the liquid into a large Pyrex measuring cup or pan and skim off the fat if desired. Transfer the defatted liquid to a small sauce pan, add the reserved herb butter, and bring to a boil; cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Whisk the arrowroot into a tablespoon of water and whisk into the simmering liquids, then stir until thickened. Serve the warm sauce over each portion, there will be enough to sauce some rice or noodles on the plate as well.

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts all over with the salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to a gallon-size resealable freezer bag. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and the remaining ingredients, press out the air and seal the bag tightly so the chicken is fully submerged. Massage the chicken through the plastic bag to evenly distribute the herbs. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• In a large, deep skillet with a lid, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade, add to the skillet, then pour the lemons and marinade on top. Cook until the chicken is golden on one side, about 8 minutes. Turn the chicken, cover and cook over medium-low until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Serve chicken topped with lemons and sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Place chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy saucepan to about 1/4-inch thick.
• Put flour in shallow platter and season with fair amount of salt and pepper. Mix with fork to distribute seasoning.
• In wide bowl, beat eggs with 3 tablespoons water to make an egg wash.
• Place oil in large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
• Dredge chicken in seasoned flour, and pat off excess. (Reserve flour.) Dip chicken in egg wash to coat completely, letting excess drip off. Add chicken to hot oil and fry about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden, turning once.
• Remove cutlets to a large platter (in a single layer) and place in oven to keep warm.
• Now toss the lemon slices into pan and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant.
• Add wine, stock and lemon juice, and simmer 5 minutes to reduce sauce slightly.
• Roll the pat of butter in the seasoned flour and add to skillet. This will help thicken sauce. Stir or whisk to emulsify and dissolve flour.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and return chicken to pan. Fish out lemon slices with tongs and place on top of chicken.
• Simmer the whole thing gently for about 2 minutes to heat chicken through.
• Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 2 chopped onions with 2 tablespoons butter and some salt and pepper until the onions soften, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken, 1 cup white wine, 2 bay leaves and several sprigs of thyme and parsley. When the liquid boils, lower heat to a simmer; cover and cook chicken for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender and just cooked through.
• Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Turn heat to high and boil the mixture until it is reduced by three-quarters; it should be fairly thick.
• Lower heat, stir in 2 tablespoons butter and return the chicken to the pan to reheat and coat with sauce.
• Adjust seasoning. Garnish: Chopped fresh thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in skillet, skin-side down. Cook until skin golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn chicken and transfer skillet to oven. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer chicken pieces to a platter and set aside.
• Place skillet over medium heat; add shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Add wine and stir to combine. Cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add chicken stock and cook until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chives, parsley, basil, and butter; season with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet. Using a spoon, coat chicken pieces with sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet.
• Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on the smooth side of each breast.
• Place in the skillet seasoned side down and cook without disturbing until brown and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Season the top side of the chicken and flip.
• Cook 1 minute over the burner; then transfer the skillet to the oven until chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 to 8 minutes more.
• Place on a cutting board and let rest.
• For the sauce, smash the garlic clove, sprinkle with the salt, and with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste.
• Transfer to a blender with the parsley, mint, pepper, lemon zest, and juice.
• Pulse until coarsely chopped and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
• Pour into the skillet and deglaze the pan with the sauce.
• Slice the chicken into small strips or shred and place back in the skillet.
• Heat over medium until heated through.
