Breast Of Chicken With Carrots And Ginger Recipes

CARROT-GINGER CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the rice, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then uncover and cook until the rice is just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain; reserve the cinnamon stick.
• Pulse the ginger, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon water in a mini food processor. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the ginger mixture and carrots and cook 2 minutes, adding a splash of water if the mixture sticks. Stir in 1/3 cup water, the chicken, herbs and yogurt and heat through. Season with salt.
• Top the chicken mixture with the rice and the reserved cinnamon stick; sprinkle with the almonds. Bake until the rice is cooked through and the almonds are lightly toasted, 8 to 12 minutes.

BREAST OF CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Trim and peel the carrots and put in a saucepan. Add cold water to cover, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and let cook 1 minute. Drain.

• Heat the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add the chicken breasts and sprinkle with the onions. Cook the chicken briefly, about 1 minute, until lightly browned on one side; do not brown well. Turn the breasts and cook about 2 minutes without browning. Sprinkle with shallots and scatter the carrots over all. Sprinkle with ginger and add white wine and broth.

• Combine carrots, shallots, ginger, butter, and honey in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot; season lightly with salt. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables so lid will sit tight. Cover; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Uncover and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and let cool. Stir in lime juice; season dressing with salt.
