CHICKEN BREAST WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Core tomatoes, cut in half horizontally, and remove seeds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place tomato halves cut side up on a rack in the oven and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until shriveled and partially dried. Puree half the tomatoes in a blender until liquefied, then add remaining tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth. (Thin with a few tablespoons water if sauce seems thick.) Strain to remove any seeds and skins, and set aside until serving time.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blanch garlic in a small pot of rapidly boiling, salted water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Create a pocket for stuffing by running your fingers between the skin and meat of each breast, leaving one side attached. Season all over with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley and garlic. Divide into 6 equal parts and stuff each breast between skin and meat, spreading evenly. If necessary, tie skin to breasts to keep in place.
• Heat chicken fat or oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken, skin side down first, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to oven and bake about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes, to redistribute juices before serving.
• Whisk tomato puree and coat 6 serving plates with it. Cut each breast into 1/2inch slices, across width. Arrange slices over puree and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat a gas, charcoal or electric grill until moderately hot. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, add garlic and boil 1 minute. Drain. Cut garlic into paper-thin slices and toss in a small bowl with the parsley and a little salt and pepper.
• Stuff about 1 teaspoon of the garlic mixture under the skin of each chicken half, in breast and thigh areas. Put chickens on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Reserve remaining garlic mixture.
• When ready to cook, grill chicken halves 7 to 10 minutes on each side, until they are just cooked through. Make sure all pinkness disappears but do not overcook.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saute pan. Add remaining garlic mixture and saute gently until barely golden. Remove from heat. Add lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Put a chicken half on each of 4 warmed plates and spoon the sauteed garlic mixture over each. Serve at once.
