Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 2 1/2- to 3-pound broiling chickens, halved
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
Lemon Sauce (recipe follows)
2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
  • Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.
  • Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
  • Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
  • Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
  • Remove from broiler and portion each chicken into each of 6 warm serving plates.
  • Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
  • Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup salted butter
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 cup half-and-half
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Place in a baking dish.
  • Stir lemon juice and zest into the leftover butter in the pan, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half-and-half slowly. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese until sauce is smooth. Pour sauce over chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top.
