Time 2h15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (5 to 6-pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 heads garlic, cut in 1/2 crosswise
1 lemon, halved
1/2 large Spanish onion, thickly sliced
4 carrots cut diagonally into 2-inch chunks
2 large Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 6 pieces
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • As soon as you get the chicken home, salt it inside and out, wrap it and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, first preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pat the outside of the chicken dry with paper towels. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken and stuff the cavity with the all the garlic and lemon. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place it in a roasting pan just large enough to hold it and the vegetables. Scatter the onion slices, carrots and potatoes around the chicken. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken to a platter and cover with aluminum foil. Place the vegetables back in the oven and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
  • When the vegetables are cooked, carve the chicken and place the slices on the platter surrounded by the vegetables. Drizzle some pan juices over the chicken and vegetables.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 garlic bulbs
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch from top of each garlic bulb to expose cloves. Place each cut side up on 12-inch square of foil. Drizzle each bulb with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Wrap securely in foil. Place in pie plate or shallow baking pan. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until garlic is tender when pierced with toothpick or fork. Cool slightly. From root end, squeeze soft cloves out of papery skins, and chop finely. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. In shallow pan, stir together flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the seasoned flour for the sauce. Coat both sides of chicken with remaining flour mixture.
  • In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in butter 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center (at least 165°F). Transfer chicken to plate; cover to keep warm.
  • In same skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Cook mushrooms in butter until lightly browned. Sprinkle the 3 tablespoons reserved seasoned flour over mushrooms. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, cream and roasted garlic. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Place chicken back into skillet with sauce about 1 minute or until heated through. Serve with mashed potatoes, if desired.
