Chicken Lemone Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
• Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

Steps:

• Separate the tenderloins from the breasts. Between sheets of plastic wrap pound the thicker side of the breast to make it more even in thickness. Season the chicken with salt. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the chicken breasts and tenderloins. Saute for about 4 to 5 minutes. You'll know to turn the chicken over when the top looks opaque (tenderloins may take only 2 to 3 minutes per side). Saute on other side 4 to 5 minutes or until the interior is cooked through. Mix lemon zest and lemon juice into chicken broth.
• Remove the chicken to a plate. Give the lemon broth cornstarch mixture a stir and add it to skillet. Deglaze the pan and simmer for a two minutes or until the sauce looks thick and glossy. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the butter if you wish. Pour the sauce pour over the chicken and sprinkle the scallions on top.

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash and dry all chicken pieces.
• Cut 2 lemons into round slices. (Use other 2 lemons for making lemon juice).
• Salt and pepper chicken on both sides.
• Place chicken meat side up in a glass casserole dish.
• Mix oil, lemon juice, parsley.
• Pour over chicken.
• Sprinkle some oregano all over chicken and refrigerate for about an hour.
• Turn the chicken over and sprinkle more oregano on top then refrigerate for about another hour.
• After the chicken marinates for a while place under the broiler for about 20 minutes.
• Turn chicken around and broil for about another 20 minutes while basting with the oil and juice mixture. Top with lemon slices.
• Towards the end watch carefully and try and get the skin of the chicken a nice crisp blackened look to it.
• Not burned but just enough to give it a great flavor.
