Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts
3 bone-in, skin-on thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
6 cipollini onions, trimmed and peeled
8 ounces baby carrots, peeled and trimmed, but leaving on a bit of green tip
1 cup chicken broth
6 ounces snap peas, trimmed
4 ounces morel mushrooms

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl combine the thyme, parsley, garlic, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Place the chicken pieces on a work surface. Gently loosen the skin of the chicken and push the herb mixture under the skin. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the pan, skin side down, when the oil is hot. Cook until the skin is crispy and golden, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook the same way on the other side. Turn the heat off the pan and reserve. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, skin side up again, and finish cooking in the oven, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile return the same pan to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the butter has melted add the cipollini onions and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until tender and golden in places, about 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth and scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the snap peas
  • and mushrooms. Simmer over low heat until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven. Spoon the vegetables onto a serving platter along with the chicken. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.

• Make sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor. • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use only 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe. • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.
