Lemon Chicken With Prosciutto Fresh Herbs Recipes

SIMPLE LEMON HERB CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut lemon in half, and squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon on chicken. Season with salt to taste. Let sit while you heat oil in a small skillet over medium low heat.
• When oil is hot, put chicken in skillet. As you saute chicken, add juice from other 1/2 lemon, pepper to taste, and oregano. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes each side, or until juices run clear. Serve with parsley for garnish.

WEEKNIGHT LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts all over with the salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to a gallon-size resealable freezer bag. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and the remaining ingredients, press out the air and seal the bag tightly so the chicken is fully submerged. Massage the chicken through the plastic bag to evenly distribute the herbs. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• In a large, deep skillet with a lid, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade, add to the skillet, then pour the lemons and marinade on top. Cook until the chicken is golden on one side, about 8 minutes. Turn the chicken, cover and cook over medium-low until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Serve chicken topped with lemons and sauce.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PROSCIUTTO, ROSEMARY, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put a cast iron or other ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, or a small roasting pan, over medium heat and get it good and hot. Drizzle the pan with a 3-count of oil. Add the prosciutto and rosemary and cook, stirring, until the prosciutto is crisp and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Push to 1 side of the pan. Season the chicken on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper and add it to the pan, skin side down, in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to set and crisp. Turn and cook 3 more minutes. Turn the chicken again, stick the pan in the oven and roast until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30 more minutes.
• Take the pan out of the oven. Remove the chicken and prosciutto from of the pan and arrange on a platter to keep warm while you prepare the pan sauce. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the rendered chicken fat and return the pan to the stovetop. Stir in the stock and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, scraping up the flavors stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until reduced to a syrup, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

LEMON AND HERB CHICKEN WITH PEACH AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the chicken fillets in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
• Put wine, lemon juice, oil, garlic, mustard and parsley (or tarragon if using) in a small bowl and whisk to combine and then add the lemon skin strips and the wine mixture to the chicken, turning chicken to coat, cover and put in the fridge for 2-4 hours to marinate.
• Peach and Prosciutto Salad - put peach, onion, basil, salad leaves (or beetroot and chard leaves if using), bocconcini and prosciutto in a large bowl and toss to combine.
• Put vinegar, oil and mustard in a small bowl and season with pepper and whisk to combine, set aside.
• Spray barbecue plate or barbecue grill with cooking spray and preheat to medium.
• Drain chicken fillets from the marinade, reserving marinade.
• Put fillets on the barbecue plate and cook, brushing once with reserved marinade for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through (this will depend on thickness of chicken breasts).
• Divide the chicken between plates.
• Drizzle dressing over salad and toss and then serve with the chicken.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH PROSCIUTTO & FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Place the chicken cutlets, bone-side down, in a large, lightly greased roasting pan.
• Peel strips of rind from the lemons, cut the lemons in half and juice. Set the juice aside.
• Place the strips of lemon rind and prosciutto between the chicken cutlets in the pan.
• Sprinkle the chicken with garlic, sage, marjoram and rosemary. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and lemon pepper. Drizzle with oil and cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to allow the flavours to blend.
• Preheat the oven to 170°C/(approximately 335°F), and bake the chicken for 40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Donna suggests serving this with mashed potato and sautéed spinach. When I make it, I'm planning to serve it with Cookgirl's I Did It My Way Creamed Spinach Recipe #116296 and my Herbed Potato Crisps Recipe #119124.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 1/2-in-thick strips that are 3 linches long and 1/2 inch wide. Combine the oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler Place a slice of the prosciutto on a cutting board. Cut in half crosswise to make two pieces approximately 5 inches long. Place a whole basil leaf on the top piece of the prosciutto and put a strip of chicken on the basil. Roll the prosciutto and basil around the chicken to form a 3-inch cylinder. Repeat the process until all the chicken strips are rolled. Grill or broil the bundles just until the chicken is firm and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
