BRAISED CHICKEN IN LEMON AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash chicken in cold water, pat dry, and then season with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow pan and dredge the chicken lightly. Heat oil in a large oven-proof saute pan or skillet. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside on paper towels. Add the onions to the oil in the pan and saute about 3 minutes, scraping up any chicken bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic, crushed pepper, salt, and the bay leaf and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn up the heat and de-glaze the pan with wine. When wine has reduced by half, add lemon juice, chicken broth, and chicken thighs to the pan. Bring to simmer. Cover tightly and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven, stir in 2 T. of the parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place back in the oven uncovered for 15 additional minutes. In a large bowl, add cooked orzo and stir in remaining parsley and the butter. Serve chicken over the orzo and drizzle with a good portion of the lemon garlic cooking liquid.
