Amish Chicken
Ingredients
Chicken (one leg, thigh, breast) 1 ¼ lbs.
Vegetable Oil 3 tbsp.
Garlic (peeled and sliced) 8 cloves
Rosemary (leaves only) 2 stems
Red Potatoes (cooked & halved) 5
Lemons 2
Chicken Stock 3 c.
Butter (cubed) ¼ lb.

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 400 F. In a hot sauté pan, heat oil. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides and set aside. In the same sauté pan, add the sliced garlic and rosemary. Once the garlic is golden brown, squeeze all the lemon juice into the pan and add the chicken stock. Place the chicken back inside the broth along with the potatoes. Add the cubed butter on top and place in the oven. Cook for 25 minutes. Check the chicken for doneness. If it needs more time, put it back into the oven for a few more minutes. When the chicken is fully cooked, remove sauté pan from the oven, and place on stove top. Bring it to a boil until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
