Do you like A Fried Chicken without frying at all? Just oven baked, but very crispy.





Look at my Recipes (Chicken) in my blog.
Split Roasted Chicken with Lemon Sauce Recipe courtesy Kathleen Daelemans


Show: Cooking Thin





1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) chicken, giblets and cavity fat removed


Coarse grained salt and cracked black pepper


1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice *see note


1/4 cup olive oil


1 tablespoon red wine vinegar


1 clove garlic, minced


1/4 teaspoon dried oregano


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Chopped parsley, for garnish


Note: if you don't like super-lemony lemon chicken ? use 3/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 chicken broth or water





Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Put the oven rack in the middle of the oven.


Using a sharp knife or poultry scissors, cut through bones on either side of backbone. Remove and backbone (save for soup stock). Place chicken breast side up on cutting board. Flatten chicken by placing the heel of your hand over the breastbone and pressing down firmly. Season chicken generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Refrigerate overnight or let stand at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.


Roast chicken, rotating once, for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees F and cook 15 minutes more or until an instant read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 160 degrees F, or until juices run clear.


While chicken is roasting make the lemon sauce. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.


Remove the chicken from the oven and place on a cutting board. Cut chicken into pieces. Pour the fat off the broiler pan, leaving the solids. Add chicken back to pan. Pour lemon sauce over the chicken and place the pan back in oven and cook for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Serve over rice.





Tip: Listen, your doctor would roll her eyes if she knew you were cooking chicken with the skin on but chicken has skin. That's the way they sell it and unless you're a master butcher, it's hard to get off. That said, just because it's there doesn't mean you should eat it. Don't.


Tip: The recipe works perfectly fine with a whole chicken cut in half, quarters, eighths, or any which way. If you're cooking for one, cut the recipe down and the cook time too.


Morph: Chicken wraps, chicken tacos, chicken salad, chicken sandwich...


Tip: If you're the least bit apprehensive about cutting up a hot chicken, buy it cut up or cut it up yourself before you cook it.

Mediterranean Chicken Pockets











The tangy, tasty filling for these sandwiches is like a Greek twist on chicken salad. You may never return to the old celery-and-mayo version!





Credit: Slim-Fast





Servings: 4





Ingredients:





Nonstick cooking spray


1 teaspoon canola oil


1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 (10-ounce) box frozen peas


2 medium tomatoes, washed and chopped


2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled


1 scallion, washed, trimmed and chopped


1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt


1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise


1 tablespoon lemon juice


1 teaspoon dried dill


4 (1 1/2-ounce) pita bread rounds, halved crosswise


1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, outer leaves removed, washed, dried and separated into leaves


Directions:





Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, brush with oil and heat over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken breasts and saute, turning frequently, until cooked and no longer pink inside, 8 to 10 minutes, or the until internal temperature is 170 degrees F. Remove from the skillet, place on a platter, cover and let cool in the refrigerator.





Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the frozen peas. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 4 minutes; do not overcook. Drain and set aside.





Cut the cooled chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cooked peas, tomatoes, feta cheese and scallion. Fold in the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice and dill and toss well.





Line the inside of the pita halves with lettuce and stuff with the chicken mixture.
Here is an easy-one. You can use Breast meat if you're on a diet. I use a leg and Thigh cut. I should be on a diet. This is done in a pan. It's Chicken in Balsamic vinegar and Garlic. Take about 5-9 cloves of garlic. Now this is important cut them into and take the core out. That's the green stem in the middle. This will greatly reduce Garlic breath but you get all the flavor. Take the chicken after washing it and drying it use a little Fluer de sol or Pink salt or Grey salt. Don't use cheap iodized salt. Braze it in the pan on both sides. Now add the Garlic and pour in good Balsamic vinegar. Don't use the white balsamic since that's not balsamic vinegar. It's really just a white wine vinegar. Use enough to cover the chicken half way cover the chicken and cook at low temperature ( not too low) let some of the Balsamic reduce by half. Turn the chicken once in the pan to allow the Balsamic to coat it. I also use some spices like a little rosemary and thyme. Not too much because the Balsamic and the Garlic will be the stars here. Never use low quality Balsamic Vinegar. Costco has good Balsamic vinegar and it's reasonable. So does Cost plus and Trader Joes.


Cheap stuff is not really balsamic vinegar . It has Caramel color and corn syrup in it.Yuck. It is easy to cook and can be put over a nice Linguine pasta or Fettucini. It comes out very sweet and the Garlic makes it wonderful. If you don't core it you'll have no friends for days.
chicken salsa is fab and tasty.fry some chopped onions and garlic in a little olive oil( it is healthy cos it helps lower cholesterol) add some sweet smoked paprika fry for 2 mins or so, add chopped bell peppers and a tin of chopped tomatoes then add ur chicken breasts . u can grill these before hand if u prefer just for a bit of colour or they may end up a little pale and insipid. cook thoroughly and then if u r feeling extravagant a few slices of hard strong cheese over the chicken and whack it into a hot oven to melt . its so tasty.
