Lemon Chicken With Grapes Recipes

WINE-BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.
• Joint the chicken into 8 pieces. Heat a lug of oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Season the chicken, add it to the pan in batches, and fry until golden all over. Set aside on a plate.
• Peel and cut the onions into wedges, chop the carrots, then peel and finely chop the garlic.
• Add the veg to the pan and gently sauté for about 15 minutes over a medium-low heat, or until soft and sticky but not coloured.
• Return the chicken to the pan. Pick, finely chop and add the rosemary, then stir in the flour. Turn up the heat to medium-high and leave to colour for a few minutes.
• Pour in the wine and bring to the boil, then lower the heat and let it reduce by half.
• Roughly chop and add the potatoes, pour in the stock, and bring it back to the boil.
• Transfer everything to a roasting tin and cook in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is falling off the bone.
• Place the grapes in a small roasting dish, drizzle with a little oil and cook these in the oven for the last 20 minutes, or until caramelised.
• Stir the grapes into the chicken, finely chop and scatter over the parsley leaves, and serve.

CHICKEN WITH GRAPES, LEMON AND CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, add the chicken and cook quickly until lightly browned on both sides.
• Reduce the heat and add the stock, lemon rind and juice and rosemary. Season to taste, cover and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
• Remove the chicken from the pan, cover and keep warm. Boil the cooking juices to reduce a little. Add the chicken, cream and grapes and heat through gently, then adjust seasoning.
• Serve with noodles or boiled rice.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GRAPES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cook the couscous as the label directs, omitting any oil or butter. Fluff with a fork and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, put the chicken and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the herbes de Provence, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the chicken skin-side up and roast until the chicken begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the grapes on top. Continue roasting until the chicken is golden brown and the grapes are soft, 15 to 20 more minutes. Divide the chicken, onion and grapes among plates and drizzle with the pan drippings. Serve with the couscous.
