Yogurt Rubbed Roasted Chicken With Red Pepper Sauce Recipes

YOGURT-RUBBED ROAST CHICKEN WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the dry mustard, thyme, coriander, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Loosen the skin around the breasts and thighs, then rub both chicken all over (beneath the skin and inside the cavity, too) with the yogurt mixture. Refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, for 1 hour. 2. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the shallots, carrots, peppers, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste into a large roasting pan and toss well. Arrange a rack over the vegetables. 3. Arrange the chicken on the rack, breast-side up, and roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, until the vegetables are very tender and the chicken is deep golden brown and cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer the chicken to a large platter and tent with foil; set aside. 4. Drain the pan drippings into a bowl, then skim off and discard the fat; set aside. 5. Remove and discard the skin from the peppers (it should peel off fairly easily), then transfer them to a food processor. Add half the shallots and pulse until roughly chopped. Add the goat cheese, salt and pepper to taste, and pan drippings and puree until smooth. 6. Carve the chicken and transfer to plates. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the red pepper and goat cheese sauce over each serving and serve with the remaining roasted shallots and carrots on the side.

YOGURT-RUBBED ROASTED CHICKEN WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the dry mustard, thyme, coriander, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and one-half teaspoon pepper.
• Loosen the skin around the chicken breasts and thighs, then rub both chickens all over (beneath the skin and inside the cavity, too) with the yogurt mixture. Refrigerate the chickens, uncovered, for 1 hour.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the shallots, carrots, peppers, the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into a large roasting pan and toss well. Arrange a rack over the vegetables large enough to hold both chickens.
• Arrange the chickens on the rack, breast-sides up, and roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, until the vegetables are very tender and the chickens are deep golden brown and cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer the chickens to a large platter and tent with foil; set aside.
• Drain the pan drippings into a bowl, then skim off and discard the fat; set aside.
• Remove and discard the skin from the peppers (it should peel off fairly easily), then transfer them to a food processor.
• Add half the shallots and pulse until roughly chopped. Add the goat cheese and salt and pepper to taste and pulse again until just combined. This makes a generous 2 cups of purée.
• Remove all but 1 cup of the purée and set aside to use throughout the week as a sandwich spread or dip, then purée the remaining red pepper mixture until smooth.
• In a large skillet, whisk together the reserved pan drippings, chicken broth and flour until smooth, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until just thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the red pepper purée and cook until just thickened, 1 to 2 minutes more. Strain the sauce, discarding any solids, and keep warm.
• Carve the chickens and transfer to plates. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the red pepper and goat cheese sauce over each serving and serve with the remaining roasted shallots and carrots on the side.
