Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), patted dry
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
1 Persian cucumber, grated on large holes of a box grater (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus 1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 cans (each 15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
2 packed cups fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and mint

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Cut chicken along backbone on one side with shears; open like a book. Turn over; press flat on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine onion and vinegar in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, and lemon juice. Season both with salt and pepper.
  • Remove sheet from oven; scatter chickpeas and lemon slices around chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining oil. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part ofbreast registers 165 degrees, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Return sheet to oven; roast until chickpeas are crisp, 10 minutes. Cut chicken into pieces. Toss chickpea mixture and herbs with onion mixture. Serve, with chicken and yogurt sauce.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH CHICKPEAS, CUMIN AND TURMERIC



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Chickpeas, Cumin and Turmeric image

The yogurt marinade does two very important jobs in this sheet-pan chicken recipe. One, the acidity in the marinade helps tenderize the meat, and two, the sugars in the yogurt help brown and caramelize the skin of the chicken as it roasts. Be sure to toss the chickpeas occasionally as they roast to encourage them to get coated in the chicken fat as it renders.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken, cut into parts (alternatively, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken parts, such as breasts, thighs and legs)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt, divided
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2 teaspoons ground turmeric, divided
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large red onion, thinly sliced, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup mint or cilantro leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Season chicken parts with salt and pepper.
  • Combine 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. (It should be on the salty side, as this is a marinade.) Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let sit at least 30 minutes at room temperature, and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Place oven rack on the top third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
  • Combine chickpeas, fennel seed, cumin, remaining teaspoon of turmeric and half the red onion slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Move chickpeas to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Scrape any excess marinade off the chicken, and place the chicken parts in the center. Place baking sheet in oven and bake, tossing chickpeas occasionally, until the skin of the chicken is evenly browned and the chickpeas are golden and starting to crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss remaining onion slices with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Combine remaining yogurt with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Once chicken is ready, scatter with lemony onions and mint or cilantro. Serve with seasoned yogurt alongside as a sauce.

JUICY ROASTED CHICKEN



Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN WITH CHICKPEAS



Spatchcocked Chicken with Chickpeas image

Spatchcocking -- splitting, then flattening a chicken -- yields a perfect roasted chicken in less time than a whole one takes. It also exposes more skin, which crisps up nicely at higher temperatures. Click here to learn how. Feel free to use a roasting pan or a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 spatchcocked chicken
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Fresh lime juice (for serving)
Fresh cilantro leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with coarse salt and ground pepper and place, breast side up, in a pan. Roast 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add chickpeas to pan.
  • Roast chicken until juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), about 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves before carving.

ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH HARISSA CHICKPEAS



Roasted Chicken Breasts With Harissa Chickpeas image

Harissa paste, the Tunisian hot chile condiment, is a super versatile pantry item. Keep it on hand for creating quick weeknight sauces that pack a punch. Here, store-bought harissa is reinforced with sautéed onion and garlic, then brightened with lemony coriander and fresh parsley. Mashed chickpeas add texture and balance out the spicy, tangy sauce. Couscous and orzo are simple sides to serve with this meal; if you have extra time, roasted squash or steamed cauliflower are also great accompaniments. Leftover harissa sauce makes a great topping for roasted cod or salmon, or use it as a warm vinaigrette to dress up a simple green salad. If you'd like, you can use boneless breasts or thighs, but keep on eye on them. They'll be cooked through in 20 to 30 minutes.

Categories     dinner, easy, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons harissa paste, more to taste
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed using a mortar and pestle, or 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 a lemon)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the chicken and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until golden and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve the breast off off the bone, then slice to serve. Discard bones or reserve for making chicken stock.
  • While the chicken rests, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in the harissa and coriander and cook until very fragrant and dark red, about 2 minutes. Add half the chickpeas and lightly mash them using a fork, the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley along with the remaining chickpeas, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the chicken topped with the sauce.

ROAST CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES



Roast Chicken Breasts With Chickpeas and Tomatoes image

This dish comes together fast. The precise cut of chicken you use in this recipe is not crucial. You can use skinless breasts (to cut fat) or boneless (to cut cooking time), or you can use chicken thighs (in which case you should figure on about 10 additional minutes of cooking time). Adapted from a recipe I originally found in Bon Appétit.

Provided by Primordial

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
1/2 cup plain yogurt or 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
4 bone-in chicken breast halves
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 (12 ounce) container cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1 cup parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F
  • Mix the first five ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour 1 teaspoon of the spiced oil mixture into a small bowl, whisk in the yogurt and set this aside for the table sauce.
  • Place the chicken on a rimmed sheet or baking dish large enough to accommodate all the pieces without overlap. Rub 2 tablespoons of the spiced oil mixture over the chicken.
  • Add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of the cilantro to the remaining spiced oil mixture and toss to coat. Pour the mixture around the chicken pieces. Season everything with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-30 minutes. If you are using skin-on cuts, you can place the dish under the broiler for a minute or two (no more!) for a final browning. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cilantro.
  • When plating up, dress each chicken piece with a generous spoonful of the chickpea and tomatoes. Serve with the yogurt sauce. This dish goes well with rice or a loaf of good crusty bread.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.
  • For a crispy skin, make sure to pat the chicken dry before roasting it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the chicken and chickpeas. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your roasted vegetable medley. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers.
  • Serve the chicken and chickpeas with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This one-pan chicken and roasted chickpeas recipe is a healthy and flavorful meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and tender, the chickpeas are crispy and flavorful, and the roasted vegetables are a delicious addition. This recipe is also easy to make, so it's a great option for busy families. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
