Inactive    1 hr 0 min   
Cook    35 min   

Yield:    4 servings
Level:    Easy


Ingredients
Marinade:

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup hot sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 (4 pound chicken) cut into 10 pieces, patted dry with paper towels

Glaze:

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange Juice
1/4 cup Neely's BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon allspice

Directions

Mix the orange juice, olive oil, hot sauce, mustard, and orange zest together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the grill to medium direct heat. Let chicken come to room temperature before grilling.

Drain the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Grill on each side for 5 minutes, then turn the heat to medium-low and cover the lid of the grill. Continue cooking the chicken until it's cooked through, about 25 minutes more.

While the chicken is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan on the grill. Whisk in the honey, orange juice, BBQ sauce, zest, mustard and allspice. Reserve some of the glaze in a small ramekin for serving.

Brush the chicken pieces with glaze, then flip the chicken, glaze side down, and cook for 2 minutes. Brush second side of the chicken with glaze and flip again. Continue cooking for 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken from grill to a platter and serve with reserved glaze.

Grilled chicken, zucchini and mushroom risotto recipe

Photo: Grilled chicken, zucchini and mushroom risotto recipe

The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Grilled chicken, zucchini and mushroom risotto recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Grilled chicken, zucchini and mushroom risotto.

The classic combination of chicken, mushrooms and asparagus make this risotto a fabulous dinner idea.

Preparation Time
10 minutes

Cooking Time
30 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

6 cups (1.5 litres) chicken stock
1 cup (250ml) white wine
20g butter
1 large leek, trimmed and sliced (white part only)
2 cups (400g) arborio rice
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 small chicken breasts, trimmed
3 zucchini, halved lengthways, sliced diagonally
200g button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
salt and pepper

Method

Heat the stock and wine in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and keep warm.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the leek and cook for 3-4 minutes or until leek is just tender.

Add the rice and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until rice is well coated. Using a ladle, pour in 1 cup of the warm stock mixture, stirring constantly to avoid the rice sticking to the base of the pan. Once most of the liquid has evaporated, add another cup of stock, stirring again until most of the liquid has evaporated. Repeat the process until there is about 1 cup of stock remaining.

While the risotto is cooking, spray a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes each side. Remove from the pan and slice.

Add the zucchini, mushroom and remaining stock to the rice mixture and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables are softened and the rice is tender. Add the chicken, oregano, and salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for a further 3-4 minutes.

Serve risotto with shaved parmesan and a simple salad, if desired.

2 (about 500g) single chicken breast fillets, coarsely chopped
70g (1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
1 egg, lightly whisked
2 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbs finely chopped fresh oregano
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
2 red capsicums, quartered, deseeded

You're sure to rule the roost with this Tuscan-style crispy-skinned chargrilled chicken.

Preparation Time
30 minutes

Cooking Time
70 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

600g chat potatoes
1.6kg chicken, rinsed, patted dry with paper towel
6 cloves garlic
1 tbs finely chopped rosemary
125ml (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs oregano leaves
1 long red chilli, seeded, finely chopped
200g grape tomatoes
55g (1/3 cup) pitted kalamata olives, halved
1 1/2 tbs caramelised red wine vinegar (see note)
Lemons cheeks, to serve

Method

Wrap 2 bricks or the base of a heavy, ovenproof frying pan in foil. Place in the oven and preheat to 250C. Heat for at least 20 minutes or until needed.

Meanwhile, place potatoes in a pan and add enough water to just cover. Bring to the boil over medium heat, then cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, cool slightly, then cut in half. Using a fork, scrape cut surface of potatoes to roughen (this helps potatoes to crisp when fried). Cool completely.

To prepare chicken, place on a work surface. Using a sharp knife or poultry shears, cut down either side of the backbone to open body. Discard backbone. Turn chicken skin-side down, then cut in half along the breastbone. Using your fingers, remove rib bones and discard. Twist wings at the first joint to dislocate them, then cut through the joint and discard wing ends. Using a fork, prick chicken all over.

Roughly chop garlic, scatter over 1 tsp salt, then continue to chop to a paste. Place garlic mixture, rosemary and 80ml (1/3 cup) oil in a small bowl, then tear over 1 tbs oregano leaves. Carefully slide your fingers under the skin of each chicken half, then spread three-quarters of the herb mixture over flesh. Rub the remaining herb mixture all over the outside of chicken.

To cook chicken, heat a large chargrill or frying pan over medium heat. Place chicken halves, skin-side down, in pan, then immediately weigh down with hot bricks or another frying pan (if using frying pan, add 4 cans to pan to weigh down). Cook for 20 minutes or until skin is dark golden. Remove bricks, turn chicken over, replace bricks and cook for a further 20 minutes or until the juices of the chicken run clear when the thickest part of a thigh is pierced. Remove bricks and transfer chicken to a plate to rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tbs oil in a heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add potatoes, cut-side down, and cook, without stirring, for 2 minutes or until cut side is golden. Turn over and cook for a further 2 minutes or until golden. Add chilli, tomatoes and olives. Toss for 1 minute or until tomatoes are softened slightly. Add vinegar. Toss to combine.

Spoon potato mixture onto a platter and top with chicken. Scatter with remaining 1 tbs oregano leaves and serve with lemon cheeks.

Notes

Known as pollo al mattone, this is a traditional Tuscan way of cooking chicken. Flattened by the weight of the bricks, the chicken cooks quickly and develops a lovely crisp skin. Ideally, you should use two bricks, but you could use a heavy frying pan, weighted with food cans, instead.

Tips: Caramelised red wine vinegar is from harris Farm markets and delis. substitute red wine vinegar and 1 tsp caster sugar. to cook chicken on a barbecue, preheat barbecue to medium, add chicken and weigh down with preheated, foil-covered bricks. Follow the cooking times for the stove-top version above.

 For a parcel that packs a punch, marinate chicken in chilli and citrussy lemongrass.

Preparation Time 15 - 45 minutes
Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)


5 French shallots, peeled, thinly sliced
1 stem lemongrass, pale section only, trimmed, thinly sliced
2 long fresh green chillies, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled
4 macadamia nuts
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp sea salt flakes
2 (about 300g each) chicken breast fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
400g green round beans, trimmed
4 thin slices of lime
8 sprigs small fresh basil leaves
Steamed rice, to serve

Method

Process shallot, lemongrass, chilli, garlic, macadamia nuts, turmeric and salt in a food processor until a paste forms. Transfer to a bowl. Add chicken. Toss to coat. Cover. Place in fridge for 30 minutes to marinate.

Preheat oven to 220°C. Cut four 50cm lengths of non-stick baking paper. Divide beans among sheets of paper. Top with chicken mixture, lime and half the basil. Fold the 2 long sides of each sheet over the filling to enclose. Tuck the short sides under to seal. Place parcels on a baking tray. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Divide parcels among serving plates. Open and top with remaining basil. Serve with rice.

Notes

Cook's tips: To speed things up on a weeknight, prepare the paste a day in advance and marinate the chicken overnight.

Try this with firm white fish fillets, too. Simply bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
