Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 heads baby bok choy, sliced into quarters
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Add the coriander to a spice grinder and pulse a few times until the seeds are just cracked. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the chicken thighs all over with salt and pepper. Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high. Once the oil begins to shimmer, sear the chicken, skin side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn the thighs over and cook until brown, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the pan to a plate, skin side up, and set aside.
  • After the chicken is removed from the pan, add the cracked coriander and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Nestle the bok choy into the leeks and add 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Nestle the chicken, skin side up, into the vegetables and cook for a few minutes until the thighs are 165 degrees F in the thickest part. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the chives. Serve right from the pan!

CHICKEN AND VEGGIE SKILLET



Chicken and Veggie Skillet image

I love to make this one-pan dinner on especially busy weeknights. (It's also great if you're a meal prepper.) Chicken thighs and root veggies are all cooked together in my beloved cast-iron skillet. If you don't have access to fresh herbs, feel free to use dried instead.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 tablespoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 small beets (golden or red), cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 bunch rainbow carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup 1-inch parsnip chunks
1/2 red onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh tarragon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dry sherry, optional
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken and veggies: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with half of the House Seasoning and brush both sides with the Dijon mustard. Drizzle the beets, carrots, parsnips and onion with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon House Seasoning. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a plate.

  • Meanwhile, make the butter sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the sherry, if using, along with the parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer and season with salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the oven and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.

Categories     Meat and Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 5h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 27

½ large red onion, chopped
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 pounds skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ medium red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
3 small red potatoes, cubed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 leaves fresh basil
7 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pine nuts
4 cloves garlic
1 large lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash hot pepper sauce
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Combine red onion, oil, soy sauce, basil, vinegar, garlic, and peppercorns for marinade in a zip-top bag and mix well. Add chicken and massage well. Let sit for 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator, flipping once halfway through.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard marinade.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. (This will melt out most of the fat underneath and will leave a nice crispy skin.) Flip chicken and cook for 1 minute more. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Drain the extra fat and oil from the skillet, then melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. When butter has melted, add red onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in green beans, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring throughout. Return chicken to the skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven. Top chicken thighs with basil leaves, then halloumi cheese slices, making sure cheese does not touch the sides of the pan. Return to the oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Turn on the broiler and broil until the cheese is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more, checking frequently to prevent burning.
  • Meanwhile, prepare pesto sauce: Combine olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a blender and blitz for 30 seconds. Add basil and blitz until it's the consistency of pesto, about 30 seconds.
  • Drizzle the pesto sauce primary onto the chicken, but also on the veggies.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give the chicken and vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding. If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the chicken and vegetables to the skillet, make sure they're in a single layer. If the skillet is too crowded, the chicken and vegetables won't cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables: Before you cook the chicken and vegetables, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help them develop flavor.
  • Cook the chicken and vegetables until they're tender: The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Depending on the thickness of the chicken and the type of vegetables you're using, this will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Conclusion:

This one-skillet chicken and vegetables recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. It's a great way to get a healthy and delicious dinner on the table in no time. The best part is that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze!
