Easy Pan-Roasted Chicken and Shallots image

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bone-in chicken breasts, skin on, halved (about 10 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise through the root (about 8 ounces)
4 medium shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise through the root (about 8 ounces)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3/4 cup chicken stock, plus 1/2 cup more if needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Working quickly, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, swirling it around the pan. Add the chicken, skin side down. Add the shallots, cut side down and not overlapping. Cook until the chicken and shallots are browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the shallots and chicken, nestle in the rosemary sprigs, then carefully pour in the chicken stock.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the shallots are tender, 12 to 14 minutes, removing the smaller pieces of chicken first as they become cooked. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
  • Check the skillet with the shallots to make sure the stock has not evaporated; if less than a few tablespoons remain, add 1/2 cup more stock or water. Reduce the pan juices over medium heat until about 1/2 cup of liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with a wooden spoon to thicken the pan sauce until it coats the spoon. Remove the rosemary and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and scallions and the rest onto the plate.

RISHIA ZIMMERN'S CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS



Rishia Zimmern's Chicken With Shallots image

Here is a simple, excellent one-pot recipe for a midweek feast, full of rich flavor, with a sauce that you won't want to waste. It came to The Times in 2014 via the Twitter account of Andrew Zimmern, the chef and globe-trotting television personality who thrills to home cooking when he's not at work, which is not often. His then wife, Rishia Zimmern, adapted it from Martha Stewart, and he put it on the social network: "Brown 8 thighs, 3 C shallots. Add wine, tarragon, Dijon, sim 30 min covered. Remove lid, reduce. Add 2C cut cherry toms." We've been messing around with that ever since, and thrill to its flavor. Lay in bread to accompany it, and sop up the sauce.

Categories     dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 to 15 whole medium shallots, peeled
2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tarragon sprigs
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the flour, salt and pepper over the chicken.
  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
  • Add the whole shallots to the pot and sauté them in the butter and chicken fat until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stir with a large spoon, then add the mustard and tarragon, then the chicken thighs. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot, stir lightly to combine and serve immediately.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
1/4 cup minced shallots (1 large)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkle them generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until it begins to smoke. Place the chicken breasts, skin side down, in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until golden brown.
  • Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts skin side up, place the skillet in the oven, and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, combine the white wine, lemon juice, and shallots and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain in the pan. If it reduces too much, add an extra splash of white wine or water. Add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat, add the diced butter, and swirl the pan until the butter is incorporated. Don't reheat or the sauce will "break"! Sprinkle with salt and serve the chicken hot with the sauce spooned over it.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
8 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
8 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Mix salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice in small bowl. Rub spice mixture over both sides of chicken. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Divide chicken between skillets and sauté until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to work surface. Tent with foil to keep warm. Add 1/4 cup wine to each skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Combine wine in 1 skillet. Stir in broth, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and lemon peel.

  • Divide chicken among plates. Spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken and flavorful shallots will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece plenty of space so that it can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Reduce the sauce until it is thick and flavorful: Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

This chicken with shallot sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish a hit at your next gathering.
