Roast Chicken Breasts With Romesco Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl, combine thyme, sugar, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and teaspoon pepper. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with thyme mixture.
• Bake until chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees when inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone), 25 to 35 minutes. Serve chicken topped with romesco sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
• Loosen skin on chicken breast; rub butter mixture between skin and breast meat. Press on the skin to distribute evenly. Rub oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper all over; place lemon halves inside cavity. Set in a baking pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In 15x10x1-inch pan, place almonds, bread, tomato and garlic in single layer. Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until almonds and bread are lightly toasted. Break bread into bite-size pieces.
• In food processor, place toasted almonds, bread, tomato and garlic. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off motions, until coarsely chopped. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Cover; process, using quick on-and-off motions, until almost smooth. Transfer sauce to small bowl; set aside. Sauce will thicken as it stands.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with garlic salt; add to skillet. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Serve chicken with sauce; sprinkle with parsley.
