Roasted Chicken With Marsala And Anchovies Recipes

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.

Steps:

• Prepare the marinade: Finely chop 2 shallots. In a large bowl, stir the chopped shallots with 3 tablespoons mustard, the honey, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the Marsala then 1/4 cup oil. Refrigerate 1/4 cup marinade to use for the vinaigrette.
• Place the chicken and oregano sprigs in a large zip-top bag and add the remaining marinade. Seal the bag and turn it over a few times before laying it flat in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or, ideally, overnight, turning it once or twice while it marinates. (If you're in a rush, marinating it at room temperature for 30 minutes is a quick shortcut.)
• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Peel the carrots, halve them lengthwise if thick, then chop them into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Clean the mushrooms and remove any tough stems. Quarter the whole shallots from root to stem and discard the skins. Place the prepped vegetables in a large bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place each piece skin side up on a large rimmed sheet pan. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken, arranging them in an even layer. Discard the marinade in the zip-top bag.
• Roast until the chicken is cooked through and its juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter to rest. Stir the remaining vegetables and return the pan to the oven to cook until the carrots are starting to brown and become tender, the mushrooms are golden and beginning to crisp, and the shallots have caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: Whisk the refrigerated 1/4 cup marinade with the vinegar, then the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust the flavor as desired, adding more olive oil for a less acidic vinaigrette or more Dijon for something a bit sharper and creamier.
• Transfer the vegetables to the serving platter, scattering them around the chicken, and pour any cooking juices left in the pan over the top. Garnish with the chopped oregano. Toss salad greens with just enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad to taste and serve with the chicken and vegetables.

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 350 degrees. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and let rest while you prepare the anchovy-garlic oil. Mince one of the garlic cloves and set it aside for later. In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the 5 smashed whole garlic cloves, the anchovies, capers and chile. Let cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies, until the garlic browns around the edges and the anchovies dissolve, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken thighs and cook until nicely browned on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the thighs, place the pan in the oven and cook another 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
• When chicken is done, transfer thighs to a plate (be careful, as the pan handle will be hot). Place skillet back on the heat and add minced garlic and the juice of one lemon half. Cook for about 30 seconds, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Return chicken to the pan and cook it in the sauce for another 15 to 30 seconds.
• Transfer everything to a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.

Steps:

• Rub a mixture of anchovy paste, lemon zest, and parsley under the skin of a whole chicken; drizzle with olive oil. Roast at 450 degrees until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of a thigh reads 160 degrees, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry chicken, removing giblets. Place fresh thyme sprigs inside cavity and place chicken, breast side up, in roasting pan with shallow sides.
• 2. Pour chicken broth and marsala over entire chicken. Place chicken on lower-middle rack. Baste ever 15 minutes.
• 3. In large bowl, mix vegetables, oil and marsala well. After second basting (30 minutes of cooking time), arrange vegetables around chicken.
• 4. Continue basting chicken and stirring vegetales every 15 minutes for 1 more hour. (total cooking time 1 1/2 hours). Remove to a serving platter and cover with foil.
• 5. NOTE: If using bone-in chicken thighs, preheat oven to 350 degrees, and bake as directed above for 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Season both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper. In heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil over medium-high heat; fry chicken, skin side down, until skin is browned, about 5 minutes.
• Turn chicken; transfer skillet to 450°F (230°C) convection oven or 475°F (240°C) conventional oven. Bake, basting chicken with pan juices after 10 minutes, until no longer pink in centre, 16 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven (wrap handle of skillet in oven mitt); transfer to serving platter and keep warm.
• Pour off all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) fat from pan; fry shallots over medium-high heat, scraping up any brown bits, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add sage; fry until shallots are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in stock and wine; boil until reduced by two-thirds. Remove from heat. Cut 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter (if using) into pieces; stir into sauce. Stir in lemon juice; spoon over chicken.

Steps:

• 1 Place a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Oil a roasting pan just large enough to hold the chicken. 2 Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Tuck the wing tips behind the back. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place the lemon half, butter, anchovies, and nutmeg inside the cavity. Place the chicken in the pan breast-side down. 3 Roast the chicken 20 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken breast-side up and roast 20 minutes more. Pour the Marsala over the chicken. Roast 20 to 30 minutes more, basting 2 or 3 times with the pan juices. The chicken is done when the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced and the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh is 170°F on an instant-read thermometer. 4 Transfer the chicken to a platter. Cover loosely with foil and keep warm for 10 minutes before carving. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.
