This recipe comes from Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and it is so easy, moist and delicious! This will be making it on my dinner table many, many more times! The herb butter really keeps the chicken moist and gives such a nice flavor…not over powering at all! This is such a nice change from the usual chicken dishes! I should also mention our dog was going crazy while this was cooking and let me tell you she was dancing when it came out of the oven! She too enjoyed this dish!
INGREDIENTS
1 3 to 3 1/2 pound whole chicken
1 stick of butter
1 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped tarragon
DIRECTIONS
Bring your butter to room temperature. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the butter, parsley and tarragon together until well incorporated. Using your hand slightly push the top of the skin away from the meat of the chicken and add all of the butter under the skin patting it down to make an even layer of butter under the skin. Place chicken on a roasting pan and roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes turn the oven down to 350 degrees and continue to roast for another 35-45 minutes until cooked through. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Enjoy!
Everyone says to never try a new recipe on a holiday or for a party, well, this was a new recipe that I made for the first time on Thanksgiving! I had plenty of taste testers that day! These carrots were loved by everyone, even the non carrot lovers of the group enjoyed this! I will be keeping this on my holiday menu! I made this on the stove top while the turkey was resting.
INGREDIENTS
10 carrots (or I bought two bags of colored carrots already prepped)
4 Tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
Fresh cracked pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Wash and slice carrots into sticks. Heat skillet over medium high heat, add two tablespoons of butter and sauté carrots until they start to just get soft about ten minutes or so (depending on the size of your carrots). Turn the skillet down to medium heat. Add salt, syrup, butter and brown sugar cook uncovered until tender to the bite and the sauce has thickened. (About ten more minutes) Add black pepper to taste.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
We are still hot and humid in New Hampshire! I have been using my slow cooker, eating out and of course using the grill! So I came across this recipe on Facebook of all places. I love a good BBQ sauce, but I don’t make them very often. My favorite homemade sauce is made by my brother, Barry. This is not his sauce and not quite as tasty as his but if you like a simple, very sweet sauce, you will enjoy this. I made this first thing in the morning and stored it in the fridge until I was ready to grill later that day. I used this on chicken, but it would be equally good on pork chops or even grilled kielbasa!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
DIRECTIONS
Whisk together all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer over medium heat until thickened. About 15 minutes. Let cool and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. When used as a grill sauce, grill your meat and baste with sauce in the last few minutes of grilling.
Enjoy!
One of my favorite flavors is balsamic. I use it in marinades and dressings and if I am eating out its usually top on my list for a salad dressing! Sweet and tangy! In today’s recipe, balsamic vinegar is used in a marinade for the roasted chicken! This recipe needs some marinade time and is great to start in the morning and you are one step closer to dinner later in the day. I served this dish with a side of rice pilaf and it was just right!
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove of garlic, minced
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
DIRECTIONS
Mix balsamic vinegar, oil, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a Ziploc bag or in a baking dish. Add the chicken breasts and let marinade in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the chicken in an oven proof baking dish, roast chicken in heated oven for 30 minutes. Add tomatoes to the baking dish and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Mine took 10 more minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with lemon zest and juice. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
