From our local state paper and a special feature of 7 recipes in 7 days. Note prep time could vary depending on if you are cutting up the chicken or have bought pre-cut - allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes to cut your own. UPDATE - thank you to KateL who has alerted me that I had not included the white wine in the ingredient list, I am estimating it would be a 1/4 cup based on similar recipes that I have made.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole chicken (most are usually about 1.5l/3lb mark cut into pieces or equivalent in pieces)
1 onion (small chopped)
1 tablespoon garlic (chopped)
2 tablespoons rosemary (needles chopped)
salt (to taste)
pepper (freshly ground to taste)
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup water (or stock)
2 lemons (juice of both and grated rind of 1)
1/2 cup cream
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a heavy based fry pan and add the chicken pieces and cook until golden on both sides and then add the onion and the parlic and cook a few minutes more and then add the rosemary, salt, pepper, white wine and the juice of the first lemon and continue to cook, add a little water or stock to prevent sticking until the chicken is cook through, turning the chicken occasionally - which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
2. Add the cream and the rest of lemon juice and rind and cook for a few minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
3. Serve with buttered noodles and a green salad or steamed vegetables.
