Provencal Lemon Chicken Recipes

INSTANT POT® PROVENCAL HONEY-LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rub the herbes de Provence into the chicken legs and thighs.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select the Saute function. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sliced garlic. Add chicken legs and thighs to the pot and brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and set aside. Add chicken stock to the pot and place a rack inside. Return chicken to the pot, on top of the rack. Close and lock the lid; choose high pressure and set the timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• While chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. Whisk honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme leaves, remaining oil, and lavender flowers together in a small bowl.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Brush sauce liberally over the chicken; reserve remaining sauce.
• Broil chicken in the preheated oven until browned, about 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Pour remaining sauce into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add one ladleful of liquid from the pressure cooker. Whisk in cornstarch and boil until reduced by half or thickened to your preference, stirring frequently to prevent burning, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve sauce alongside chicken.

ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENçAL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow pan, and lightly dredge the chicken in it, shaking the pieces to remove excess flour.
• Swirl the oil in a large roasting pan, and place the floured chicken in it. Season the chicken with the herbes de Provence. Arrange the lemon, garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken, then add the vermouth to the pan.
• Put the pan in the oven, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, then baste it with the pan juices. Continue roasting for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is very crisp and the meat cooked through.
• Serve in the pan or on a warmed platter, garnished with the thyme.

HERBS DE PROVENCE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Roast the chicken for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

PROVENCAL LEMON OLIVE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place onion in 4-quart CROCK-POT® slow cooker. Arrange chicken thighs over onion. Place lemon slice on each thigh. Add olives, brine, herbes de Provence, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Slowly pour in chicken broth.
• Cover; cook on LOW 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH 3 to 31/2 hours or until chicken is tender. Stir in parsley before serving.

EASY CHICKEN PROVENCAL RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Season the chicken liberally with the salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting with foil to rest.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and scrape up any brown bits, then simmer 1-2 minutes until reduced by half.
• Add the diced tomatoes, olives, rosemary, thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Nestle the chicken pieces and any juices into the mixture. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is just done. Remove and discard rosemary and thyme.
• Serve garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, paired with roasted potatoes and green beans.
