To my mind, this is an even more perfect summer side than a tomato salad. Yotam Ottolenghi’s roast fennel and tomatoes with chickpeas and black olives. Roast fennel and tomatoes with chickpeas and black olives Remove from the oven, leave to rest for 30 minutes, then serve straight from the pan with the pan juices spooned on top. Spread all the remaining paste over the chicken’s breasts, then return the pan to the oven and roast for 35 minutes more, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Using an oven cloth, carefully tilt the pan and collect one and a half to two tablespoons of chicken fat, then stir this into the reserved apricot paste.
Take out of the oven and turn down the heat to 190C (170C fan)/375F/gas 5.
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme to dried skin#
Put the remaining shallots in a large roasting pan, pop the chicken on top, then roast for 20 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp. Stuff two shallot halves and most of the thyme inside the cavity, then put the last sprig of thyme on top of the chicken breasts. Put 90g of this paste in a small bowl and set aside, and rub the rest all over the chicken – apply a very thin layer on top of the skin and push the rest under the skin over the breasts and legs. Put the next seven ingredients in a small food processor with half a teaspoon of salt and a good grind of pepper, then blitz to a coarse paste. Heat the oven to 240C (220C fan)/475F/gas 9, and season the chicken inside and out with a teaspoon of salt, making sure you season under the skin over the legs and breasts, too. Prep 10 min Cook 1 hr 10 min Rest 30 min Serves 6ġ x 1.4kg chicken Fine sea salt and black pepper 200g soft dried apricots 1 tsp brown sugar 1½ preserved lemon (25g), flesh discarded, skin roughly chopped (15g net) 2 tbsp dijon mustard 1 tsp white-wine vinegar 45ml olive oil 1 tsp cumin seeds 4 shallots, peeled, trimmed and halved lengthways (280g) 10g fresh thyme sprigs Prepare the chicken in advance up to the point when it’s ready to go in the oven, then chill until you’re ready to cook (if you do this, take it out of the fridge an hour beforehand). But, this dish is also delicious scooped on top of pasta-make a side of garlic bread to soak up all of the creamy sauce.Substitute the apricots for another dried fruit, if you fancy – if it’s firm, just make sure you rehydrate it in boiling water first. This dish is delicious all on its own paired with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus or stuffed mushrooms. This sounds-and tastes-fancy, but is a totally doable cooking trick anyone can master. This is a technique to remember if you don't already know it: Sear the chicken until golden, make a sauce with some of the chicken drippings (pour off about half), and then add back the chicken and bake or simmer until fully cooked through. The result is a flavor-packed chicken with an accompanying cream sauce to pour over anything (or just eat all on its own, honestly).Īfter you sear your chicken breasts, you make a simple cream sauce of garlic, fresh thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream, which the seared chicken simmers in in the oven so that it soaks up all the flavor. What makes this Italian chicken so special? The seared chicken breasts are cooked alongside a simple but rich cream sauce in the oven, soaking up all of the delicious flavors. Hence, the name and this dish were born: A chicken dinner so good, you just might get a proposal by the last bite. Many of you have probably heard of Ina Garten's "Engagement Roast Chicken" before, but this, if I may say, is so much tastier. When Delish editors started devouring this dish, people started blurting out marriage proposal-adjacent praises for this creamy, savory chicken dinner ("I'd marry you for that chicken," and "OH MY GOD THAT'S MARRIAGE MATERIAL," were some of the favorites). Whether you’re making this for your partner in crime or special someone for an extra-special Valentine's Day, get ready for sounds of pure joy after the first bite.
Chicken breasts are seared until golden, before being baked with a simple (but extremely satisfying) cream sauce that results in a chicken that's packed with flavor in every bite. If you're looking for a chicken dinner so good jaws will drop, this is the recipe for you.
