Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Flour (for dredging)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter (divided)
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup heavy/whipping cream

Steps:

  • Prepare your chicken (cut it in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets). Sprinkle them with the garlic powder and salt & pepper and then coat them in the flour.
  • Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook them for 4-5 minutes/side or until they're golden. If the oil starts to splatter a lot, reduce the heat. Once the chicken is browned, take it out of the pan and set it aside.
  • Take the pan off the heat and add the rest of the butter, the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and the honey.
  • Return the pan to the stove and adjust the heat to medium. Stir the sauce until the mustard has dissolved (make sure the liquid doesn't reduce completely).
  • Add the cream. Once the sauce is bubbling again, add the chicken back in. Let it cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced to your liking.

LAVENDER AND HONEY ROASTED CHICKEN

I found this burried recipe and thought instantly of our lovely French Tart and simply had to post this to get her opinion on the recipe. The intro on it reads: This marinade is great for roasted chicken, duck, hens, or any poultry. The sweetness of the honey and balsamic vinegar bring out the aroma of the lavender, and create a lovely brown glaze on the bird. You may also use this as a glaze for grilling chicken pieces, but be sure to baste it near the end of the cooking time to ensure that the glaze doesn't burn.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 whole chicken

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 teaspoon lavender
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons marjoram
1 garlic clove, minced
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup aged balsamic vinegar
1 whole roasting chicken (chicken pieces, or smaller poultry such as a poussin, quail or cornish hen)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and stir thoroughly.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Season a whole chicken or chicken pieces (leave the skin on) with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes (reduce time for a smaller bird such as a poussin or cornish hen).
  • Baste with the lavender honey marinade every 5 minutes or so for an additional 30 minutes or until completely cooked. The bird is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F Do not overcook.
  • [Chef's Note: Once the bird has browned nicely, you can cover it with foil until it is finished cooking to prevent the skin and marinade from burning. Once finished, you can brush additional marinade between the flesh and the skin.].
