Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large head escarole
4 cloves garlic
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add skin-side down to the skillet. Cook until the skin browns, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the escarole, tear into pieces and rinse well. Thinly slice the garlic.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate. Discard all but 3 tablespoons fat from the skillet; return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add half of the escarole and cook, tossing, until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the remaining escarole and cook, tossing, until wilted, 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the capers, butter and lemon juice. Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter is melted. Discard the thyme sprigs.
  • Divide the chicken thighs and escarole mixture among plates. Sprinkle with parsley.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
½ cup panko bread crumbs
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons white wine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy chicken breasts, it's crucial to ensure they aren't overcrowded in the skillet. Give each piece ample space to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown crust.
  • Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked thoroughly while remaining juicy.
  • For the chermoula marinade, use fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, and mint for the best flavor. You can adjust the amount of cumin, coriander, and paprika to suit your taste preferences.
  • When preparing the escarole salad, make sure to wash and dry the escarole thoroughly to prevent excess water from diluting the dressing. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the escarole for a delicate texture.
  • For a flavorful dressing, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This delectable dish of crispy chicken breasts with chermoula and escarole offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
