Crispy Skin Chicken With Dill And Garlic Sauce Recipes

LEMON CHICKEN IN DILL CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste along with garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Combine butter and oil in a large oven-safe skillet (see note), once butter is melted add honey and stir to combine.
• Add chicken to pan, brown chicken 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a plate (it won't be cooked through at this point). Add butter and garlic and saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice and stir over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Return chicken to pan and transfer to preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Spoon pan sauce over the chicken and sprinkle dill over the chicken and sauce, add cracked black pepper to taste and serve.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CREAMY DILL PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Sprinkle the chicken breasts with seasoned salt. If the chicken breasts are quite large, slice each one in half horizontally to make two cutlets. For faster and more uniform cooking, put each chicken breast or cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with the smooth side of a meat tenderizer.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and olive oil.
• When the butter and oil are hot and sizzling, add the chicken breast halves or cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is browned. Reduce the heat to low.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet; cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the chicken breasts from skillet to a hot platter; tent them with foil to keep them warm.
• In a small bowl, combine cream or half-and-half, flour, and dill; whisk or blend with a fork until smooth.
• Add the flour mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until the mixture has thickened.
• Serve the creamy dill sauce over chicken breasts with rice, noodles, or potatoes and your favorite side vegetables.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS (VERY EASY, ONE DISH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Line a large glass baking dish with foil. You can also add a baking rack to the pan to keep the chicken out of the grease and to help air circulate and make it crispier.
• Remove excess fat from chicken quarters.
• Separate the skin from the chicken, taking care that the skin stays attached at most points on the chicken. (You just want a flap. Do not remove the skin).
• Brush the chicken (under the skin) with soy sauce.
• Sprinkle some garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed on the chicken under the skin (I estimated the 1 tsp measures. Use as much or as little as you're comfortable with) and rub into the chicken.
• Arrange the leg quarters in the pan, skin side up, taking care not to crowd. They need space to cook properly.
• Brush both sides of the leg quarters with soy sauce.
• Sprinkle the skin with garlic powder, seasoned salt and dill weed (to taste).
• Place on middle rack in over and bake uncovered for an hour.
• After an hour, increase oven temp to 400 and bake 15 minutes.
• Chicken is done when internal temp reaches 165 (insert meat thermometer at thickest part of thigh, taking care not to touch the bone).
• Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
