Garlic Rosemary Roasted Chicken Breasts Recipes

GARLIC ROSEMARY ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º Fahrenheit. Mix the sea salt, garlic and fresh rosemary in a small bowl.
• Pat the chicken dry. Rub the garlic-rosemary mixture all over the chicken. Pull up the skin and slide your hand between the skin and the breast to get some of the mixture closer to the meat.
• Place chicken on a roasting rack. Roast chicken for about 20 minutes per pound. Chicken is done when a thermometer reads between 165º and 185º Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
• Allow the chicken to rest 10-15 minutes after removing from the oven. After it has rested, carve chicken and serve.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to a sheet pan and season all over with 1½ teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic and rosemary with a fork. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Add the oil mixture and the gnocchi to the chicken. Toss with your hands to coat, massaging the garlic and rosemary into the chicken and gnocchi. Arrange the gnocchi in an even layer, and place the chicken skin side up on top of the gnocchi. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to plates and finely grate the zest of half the lemon over the chicken. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon onto the gnocchi (about 1½ tablespoons), then use a spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the sheet pan and toss the gnocchi in the lemon juice and pan drippings. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. Eat the chicken with the gnocchi and a lemon wedge for squeezing over.

GARLIC-ROSEMARY ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a roasting pan and rack with cooking spray. Combine rosemary, garlic and salt in a bowl. Remove giblets and neck from chicken and trim off all visible fat. Starting at the neck cavity, gently loosen skin from breasts and drumsticks; spread rosemary mixture evenly under skin. Tuck wing tips under back of chicken; tie ends of drumsticks together with twine. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste; place breast side up in pan. Roast, basting twice with pan juices, until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (and not touching bone) reads 175°F, about 1 3/4 hours. Let stand 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and lemon slices, if desired, and serve.
