Last Minute Chicken
What do you do when someone thaws some chicken and expects you to cook it? Bake it! After laying a bed of celery, onion and carrots on some foil, I added cumin, salt, coriander, cloves, pepper, Cayenne and olive oil to the chicken and rubbed it in really well. I then placed it on top of the bed of veggies, topped the chicken with a few pats of butter and baked it in a pre-heated 375 degree oven until its internal temp. reached 175 degrees or until the juices ran clear.
After I removed the baking dish from the oven, I plated the chicken to rest while I skimmed the fat off the remnants from the pan. Then, I put dish over 2 burners and added a little bit of water to loosen the brown bits at scraped the bottom of the pan. When it reduced a lil’ bit, I added a couple pats of butter with a slurry of flour and water and cooked for a couple more minutes to thicken. Serve and eat! Simple as that.
