Olive Garden Garlic And Herb Recipes

GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
• Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.

GARLIC HERB CHICKEN CON BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Cook Pasta according to package directions until just tender, drain.
• Steam and/or boil Broccoli until tender but not too soft. (I like to be a rebel and add the broccoli directly to the pasta water when the pasta has 6-7 minutes left to cook to save myself a dirty dish, it turns out perfect!)
• While the pasta and broccoli are cooking mix flour, salt, garlic powder, italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes in a shallow bowl. Butterfly and tenderize chicken and dredge in flour mixture. Set Aside.
• Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is very hot, add two pieces of chicken to pan. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes before turning to the other side. Flip to the other side and cook another 2-3 minutes then lower the heat to medium and continue cooking until it reaches 165 degrees. Repeat with remaining two pieces of chicken adding more oil if necessary.
• In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant. Mix half and half with bouillon and cornstarch and quickly whisk it into the pan. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken. Remove from heat and salt to taste. Add pasta and broccoli. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary and serve with a chicken breast on top and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

GARLIC AND HERB MARINADE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the water, vinegar, oil, garlic, thyme, Italian-style seasoning, poultry seasoning, rosemary, salt and ground black pepper. Mix well and apply to your favorite meat.

OLIVE GARDEN TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preparing the chicken: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, black pepper and Italian herb seasoning in a shallow dish.
• Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
• Saute the chicken in batches, in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet -- with enough oil to coat -- over medium-high heat for about two to three minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
• When finished, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• Preparing the pasta: Cook pasta al dente (or according to package instructions).
• Drain and set aside until needed.
• Preparing the sauce: While the pasta is cooking, heat 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of oil in a sauce pan. Add the garlic and the red pepper and cook for approximately one minute.
• Slowly add remaining one tablespoon of flour and stir to combine.
• Next, add the white wine and bring to a boil for about one minute. Add the spinach and the cream and bring to a boil. The sauce is done cooking when the spinach becomes wilted. Complete by stirring in the parmesan cheese.
• Preparing Tuscan Garlic Chicken entree: Partly coat the pasta with the sauce, transfer to a large bowl (or individual dishes) and then top with the chicken, the remaining sauce and the extra parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy.
