Roasted Chicken And Jerusalem Artichokes Recipes

ROAST CHICKEN WITH JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES AND LEMONS

Steps:

• Cook Jerusalem artichokes in a medium pot half-filled with water and half of the lemon juice for 10 minutes after the water boils. They should be tender but not too soft. Drain and cool.
• In a large bowl combine cooked Jerusalem artichokes, chicken pieces, shallots, garlic, tarragon, thyme, lemon slices, saffron, salt, peppercorns, pepper, oil and water.
• Mix everything with your hands (wear gloves if you don't like touching meat) until all ingredients are evenly coated with the marinade.
• Cover and let marinade overnight or at least for 2-3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 220C/420F and roast the chicken for 30 minutes. Then cover with a lid or tin foil and cook for 15 minutes longer. (If your chicken is cooked but the skin remains a little too pale, turn your broiler on and broil for 1-2 minutes for a beautiful finish.)
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining lemon juice.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place chicken in a shallow roasting pan; set aside. Zest the lemon into long strips, and squeeze juice from lemon into a small bowl. Set aside juice.
• In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, shallots, and thyme. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and arrange in pan around chicken. Roast until chicken is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Add reserved lemon juice, wine, and olives; stir up any browned bits on the bottom of roasting pan with a wooden spoon. Return to oven, and continue cooking until liquid has thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with grated lemon zest.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE NICOISE SALAD WITH ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the roasted Jerusalem artichokes and chicken breast: Place the chicken and pineapple juice in a baking dish. Marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or a maximum of 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in large cast-iron pan over medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Jerusalem artichokes to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the Jerusalem artichokes until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the Jerusalem artichokes over and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the chicken to same hot pan, skin-side down. Once the skin is crisp, golden and lightly charred, about 4 minutes, flip over. Add the reserved Jerusalem artichokes to the pan and place in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the Jerusalem artichoke nicoise salad: Place the roasted Jerusalem artichokes and the green beans on a plate. Scatter the tomatoes, onions and olives over the green beans and Jerusalem artichokes. Place the sliced chicken breast in the center. Place the hard-boiled eggs around the chicken. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
