SKILLET CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown chicken breasts on both sides for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet, cover with foil, and keep warm.
• Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pan and cook leeks over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in bacon and garlic and cook until bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with vinegar and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

CREAMY PASTA WITH ROSEMARY CHICKEN

Steps:

• CHICKEN:
• Heat the rosemary in 1/8 cup water by microwave or stove to draw out the taste.
• Mix rosemary with 1/4 cup olive oil, and add salt and pepper.
• Marinate the chicken slices in this rosemary-olive oil mixture for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. Do not rinse or drain the marinade - it's not much liquid to begin with.
• When you're ready to prepare the meal, begin heating 1/3 inch of olive oil in a large skillet or pot.
• Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning, and mix this in with the marinated chicken so that the pieces become slightly coated with flour. They do not need to be dry or perfectly dredged.
• When the oil is hot, add all of the chicken pieces. They do not need to be in a single layer.
• Sauté them on high heat, stirring them once the bottom layer becomes golden. They will not become totally golden or browned, but each piece should have golden edges and be fully cooked.
• SAUCE:.
• Heat 1 tbs. butter and 2 tbs. olive oil in a saucepan.
• Sauté the minced garlic until golden, not browned.
• Stir in the flour and mix well.
• Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients (apple juice, cream, parmesan, tomatoes, parsley).
• Let the sauce bubble and thicken for a short time, then turn down the heat.
• Season to taste with salt and black pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
• If desired, you can thin and increase the sauce by adding in more cream.
• PASTA: cook fully, according to package directions - as firm or soft as you like. Then drain the cooked pasta.
• SERVING: when the chicken, sauce, and pasta are all cooked, mix the pasta with the sauce so that it's coated.
• Stir in the chicken.
• Serve with plain steamed broccoli and carrots, or any other vegetables you enjoy.

SKILLET ROSEMARY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a saucepan and salt the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
• Pile the rosemary leaves, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and the red pepper flakes on a cutting board, then mince and mash into a paste using a large knife. Transfer the paste to a bowl. Stir in the juice of 1 lemon and the olive oil. Add the chicken and turn to coat.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, cover and cook until the skin browns, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken; add the mushrooms and potatoes to the skillet and drizzle with the juice of the remaining lemon.
• Add the rosemary sprigs and the squeezed lemon halves to the skillet; transfer to the oven and roast, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
