EGG NOODLES WITH LEMON AND HERBS

Steps:

CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON-SESAME DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until opaque and just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes. (You're not looking to brown the meat here, which would risk drying it out.) Remove from heat to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the miso, lemon zest and juice, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
• When the chicken is no longer hot (warm or cool both work), use a slotted spoon to add it to the bowl with the dressing, leaving any chicken juices behind. Stir to combine. Add the sliced celery, celery leaves, basil and sesame seeds; stir to combine. Taste, and if it needs more spice, add black pepper; if it's bland, add salt; if it's dry, add sesame oil. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

BAKED LEMON CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Combine garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss in chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, and olives to coat. Lay chicken over lemon slices in the dish, then top with vegetable mixture.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and potatoes are tender, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Toss one more time in the dish to coat with sauce before serving.
