Garlic And Mustard Chicken Recipes

HONEY DIJON GARLIC CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Use a baking pan that is large enough to have a half inch of space around each chicken breast but no more. Using too large a baking dish can cause the glaze to be too shallow in the pan and burn easily. Place the empty pan in a 425 degree oven to heat up while you prepare the glaze.
• Melt the butter in a small saute pan. Add the garlic and cook for only 30-60 seconds to soften it. Do not brown the garlic.
• Add the honey, Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to blend and simmer over medium heat for one or two minutes begin to reduce the glaze.
• Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Remove the hot pan from the oven and place the chicken breasts an equal distance apart in the pan. Pour the hot glaze evenly over the chicken.
• Return the pan to the 425 degree F oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and baste the breasts with the glaze in the bottom of the pan. return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until a neat thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the breast reads 170 degrees F.
• Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Take chicken out of the fridge. Pat dry and season on both sides with salt. Set aside for a few minutes.
• Make the honey garlic Dijon sauce. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, spices, and salt. Mix.
• Add chicken to the honey garlic Dijon sauce. Coat each piece well with the sauce, then transfer chicken to a large lightly-oiled cast iron skillet (or baking sheet). Pour any Dijon sauce left in bowl on top. Add the onions.
• Bake in heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken thighs are fully cooked through (internal temperature should register 165 degrees F)
• Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with Lebanese Rice and loaded Balela salad or this simple 3-ingredient Mediterranean salad (see additional suggestions above)

GARLIC AND MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and place in a dish or zip-top bag.
• Mix the next seven ingredients together in a small bowl and add to the chicken.
• Turn chicken to coat, cover and refrigerate over night.
• Remove chicken from marinade and either put on barbecue for 10-15 minutes per side or in an 350°F oven for 35-40 minutes. But cooking times will vary, so make sure they're done.
• Mix the creme fraiche with the other 2Tbs dijon mustard, terragon and salt and pepper and spread on chicken just before serving.

QUICK-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD AND GARLIC, JACQUES STYLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Rinse chicken beneath cold running water and blot dry. Using poultry shears, cut along each side of the backbone and remove it. (Save backbone with the giblets for making stock.) Jacques suggests cutting partway through both sides of the joint between the thighs and the drumsticks and also cutting the joint between the wings and the breast.
• Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Turn the chicken breast side down and slather it with half of the mixture. Place chicken in a large oven-safe skillet, skin side up and slather with the remaining mixture.
• Set the skillet over high heat and cook the chicken until it starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and, according to Jacques, continue roasting another 30 minutes. Roast until brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, which took my bird 50 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 pieces and serve.
• This can be prepared through Step 2 and refrigerated overnight.

BAKED MUSTARD GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
• In a blender or food processor puree the mustard, garlic& spices.
• Cover each piece of chicken throughly with mixture.
• Coat each piece with bread crumbs (you may need more bread crumbs depending on the size of the chicken breasts).
• Grease lightly or spray a casserole dish.
• Lay chicken breasts in the casserole dish.
• Add two tablespoons of water, cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake covered for 20 minutes and uncovered for 30 minutes.
• I like to serve this with new potatoes and steamed brocolli sprinkled with coarse garlic salt (Lawry's is the best).
