Recipes Ingredients Meat & Poultry Chicken Roasted Chicken with Dates, Citrus, and Olives 4.0 (39) Prep Time: 25 mins Total Time: 1 hr Servings: 6 Be sure to squeeze the juice of the roasted citrus over the final dish before serving for just the right balance of sweet and tart. Directions Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large roasting pan, season chicken with salt and pepper; drizzle with oil. Squeeze lemon and orange over chicken, then add fruit to pan. Add wine, orange juice, half of dates, and thyme. Roast 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven; rotate chicken pieces if browning unevenly. Add olives and remaining dates. Roast until a thermometer inserted in chicken breast (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, about 15 minutes more. Transfer chicken and citrus to a platter. Place roasting pan over high heat, mashing some of dates with the back of a wooden spoon, until sauce is reduced and thickened, about 3 minutes. Pour over chicken; serve. Credit: Marcus Nilsson
