Baked chicken with mushrooms, onions and rosemary topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 (170g) boneless chicken breast with wing attached, skin left on
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 5 fresh champignons, cut in half
- 2 shallots, halved
- 2 fresh sprigs of rosemary
- 1/4 cup water
- Juice of half a lemon
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt and black pepper. Place a cast iron or oven-safe skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Drizzle the skillet with olive oil and place the chicken skin-side down in the hot fat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the skin begins to brown and crisp. Add the mushrooms, shallots, and rosemary.
- Transfer the pan to the hot oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms and shallots are soft and golden brown.
- The last thing you need to do is make a quick sauce from the juices left in the bottom of the pan. Remove everything from the pan to a plate to keep the chicken and vegetables warm while you prepare the sauce. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan and return the pan to the stovetop.
- Add water and lemon juice and cook over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid reaches a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes. Pour the sauce from the pan over the chicken and onions, season with salt and pepper to taste.
