Chicken With Lemon And Olives
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 4 chicken leg quarters, skinned
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 pimiento-stuffed green olives, halved
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- Combine first 7 ingredients; marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Pour marinade into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Arrange chicken in dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with olives and lemon slices. Bake at 400u0b0 for 40 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165u0b0.
- Remove chicken from dish; keep warm. Strain sauce over a saucepan, reserving solids. Bring sauce to a boil; cook 3 minutes or until slightly thick. Stir in olives and garlic; serve with chicken and lemons. Top with parsley.
- Wine note: Finding an inexpensive wine that's complex enough to shine with a briny dish like this is a wine lover's coup. Discover Barefoot Wine's California Pinot Grigio ($6). With green apple, lemon, and jasmine opening to apricot and orange zest, it's a little sweet and briny like the chicken-and tastes like it costs way more than it does. -Sara Schneider
