Categories     main-dish

Time 10h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

12 ounces romaine hearts (from 1 to 2 heads), chopped
Dressing, recipe follows
Eight 10-inch/burrito-size flour tortillas
Roasted Chicken, recipe follows
2 cups store-bought Parmesan crisps, preferably Moon Cheese, or see recipe below for homemade
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
6 tablespoons (96 grams) mayonnaise
1/4 cup (60 grams) lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/4 cup (63 grams) Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup (120 grams) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup (60 grams) shredded Parmesan
Pinch kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 4-pound whole chicken
1/4 cup (60 grams) mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces shredded Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Steps:

  • Coat the lettuce in some Dressing and reserve the remaining Dressing for serving on the side.
  • To assemble a wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Pile about 1 1/2 ounces dressed lettuce on the lower third of the tortilla. Top with 3 to 4 slices chicken (more or less, as desired) then sprinkle with the Parmesan crisps. Fold the wrap over the filling, tuck in the sides and continue to roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, lettuce, chicken and Parmesan crisps.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and crisp the tortilla for a few minutes on both sides, or until golden. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
  • Remove the wraps to a work surface. Cut in half on a bias and serve with additional Dressing for dipping.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire and garlic in a mixing bowl or measuring cup. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency with a little water if it is too thick.
  • Sprinkle the salt and pepper all over the outside and in the cavity of the chicken and rub into and underneath the skin. Place on a rack over a sheet pan and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature before cooking.
  • Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic and Worcestershire, then schmear the mixture all over the chicken. Roast the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees F, begin checking at around 50 minutes. (If the skin gets too dark, tent with aluminum foil.) Allow to rest 30 minutes before carving. Carve the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a medium bowl, add the cheese and cayenne pepper. Toss to combine. Spread the cheese evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, crispy and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, then break up into shards.

KITTENCAL'S BEST BLASTED RAPID-ROAST WHOLE CHICKEN



Kittencal's Best Blasted Rapid-Roast Whole Chicken image

Blasting with high heat will shrink the skin and seal in all the juices to create an extremely moist and tender chicken with lovely crispy skin - and it will be on your table in about an hour. This method will also work with a larger chicken, but cooking time will need to be increased. You may adjust all seasonings to taste. If you are not a lemon lover, then you may omit the lemon juice. You really can use whatever seasoning that you like for this. I like to use seasoned salt. Make certain to use a fork and poke holes all over in the lemon, then place it into the cavity of the chicken. Roast roast as stated. The chicken with be moist and have a faint lemon flavor.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken (about 3 to 3-1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons melted margarine or 2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (can use more lemon juice if desired)
1 1/2 tablespoons seasoning salt (or use as much as desired)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 whole lemon (poked all over with holes using a fork, can use 2 small lemons, if you don't have any lemons an onio)

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken inside and out well under cold water, then pat dry using a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl mix the lemon juice with oil and melted butter until blended, then rub all over the chicken.
  • Using clean hands rub the inside and outside of the chicken with seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne (you can season the chicken under the skin also if desired).
  • Place the lemon/s inside the cavity.
  • Place the chicken into a baking dish (you can place the chicken onto a small roasting rack if desired and you may want to add in a little water to the pan to prevent smoking).
  • Using cotton string tie the legs together tightly.
  • At this point you may cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours (not more than that or the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken).
  • Set oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Roast the chicken at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400 degrees and continue roasting for about 40 minutes (or until the internal temperature reaches about 175 to 180 degrees F. about 1 hour or a little less).
  • Cover with foil and let sit for 15 minutes before slicing (do not slice before that time or the juices will flow out!).

CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS



Chicken Caesar Salad With Asparagus image

Don't be afraid! It is SO good! My husband and I had never been big asparagus fans, but when I got this recipe from an awesome lady who often substitute teaches at the school where I work, I just had to try it, and we love it! I've never actually put the croutons on, and we never toss all four servings together as the recipe calls for, we just put the salad in individual bowls, top with the chicken and veggies, and put on the desired amount of dressing and parmesan cheese. I also love mine with fresh ground pepper. We like to precook a larger quantity of asparagus and chicken ahead of time to be able to enjoy this salad more than once. I've taken this to work for lunch as well, but would recommend keeping the ingredients separate in order to prevent the lettuce from getting mushy. This makes a great meal all by itself, maybe with some fresh fruit for dessert. The preparation time is really a guess. It all depends on whether or not you already have the chicken cooked and on what method you choose to cook it. All of the other ingredients can be prepped and ready in less than the amount of time it takes to cook the chicken, so it comes together pretty fast.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) bag romaine lettuce (My card just says one bag, 12-16 ounce is a guess. Depends on how you like the proportion)
2 1/2 cups cut-up cooked chicken breasts (we usually grill or broil it)
2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved if necessary) or 2 cups grape tomatoes (halved if necessary)
2 cups cut-up cooked asparagus (I steam just long enough to take off the raw edge, but remain a crunchy, then plunge into cold water)
1/2 cup caesar salad dressing (regular or reduced fat)
1 cup seasoned croutons
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (The real stuff, not the powdered stuff that you shake out of a jar)

Steps:

  • Toss lettuce, chicken breast (warm or cold), tomatoes, and asparagus in a large salad bowl.
  • Add dressing and toss.
  • Top with croutons and parmesan cheese.
  • Serve immediately.

HEAVENLY HOME-STYLE ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Heavenly Home-Style Roasted Whole Chicken and Potatoes image

I consider this recipe to be one of my best "stand-by's!" It is a great "stand-by" recipe for family-friendly meals; to throw together as an easy one-pot meal for any occasion; for unexpected company; for easy weekend meal prep that allows for delicious leftovers all week; for a potluck, or to take to a family who is sick or in need; or for guest-worthy dinner parties (because it is so easy to make,so that the chef can enjoy the festivities, too). It is just a great and easy recipe that can be thrown together on a moment's notice! There are a million baked/roasted chicken recipes out there, but I like this one because it allows the chicken and potatoes to roast to a perfect crisp (yet so tender on the inside); the chicken turns out incredibly moist (thanks to the decadant butter); and the spices and garlic create a flavor-rich dish. I prefer to make it with butter or high quaility spread, but you can use olive oil in place of the butter, if you prefer. An added bonus to this recipe is that it will make your house smell heavenly, while it cooks. Mmmmm - good! :-)
