Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I couldn't find shallots, so i used white onions. I used split chicken breasts because they were on sale for .98/pound. I put a couple thyme stalks under the skin of the chicken. It needs a little more seasoning, but the cooked grapes are out of this world. Especially, under one of the chicken breasts, it was kinda dry (I had 3 breasts in one pan and 2 in the other), the grapes and onions carmalized to the bottom of the pan. Oh wow!!! I bet it would be better with a whole chicken!!! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Chicken-with-Roasted-Grapes-and-Sha\ llots-356329?mbid=rss_epinr&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=F\ eed%3A+newrecipes+%28Epicurious+-+New+Recipes%29&utm_content=Google+Internationa\ l 1 1/4 pounds assorted seedless grapes (such as green, red, and black), cut into small clusters 6 large shallots (about 10 ounces), peeled, halved through root end 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme plus 6 large sprigs 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 4-to 4 1/2-pound chicken, excess fat removed from cavity Preparation Preheat oven to 400°F.
