SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ROASTED PLUMS AND ONIONS



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Roasted Plums and Onions image

Beautiful to behold and easy to make, this sheet-pan dinner combines sweet plums and soft red onions with crisp-skinned pieces of roasted chicken. Toasted fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes and a touch of allspice add complexity while a mound of fresh torn herbs crowns the top. If good ripe plums aren't available, you can substitute another stone fruit including peaches, nectarines or pluots, though if your fruit is very sweet, you might want to add a squeeze of lemon at the end. Serve this with rice pilaf, polenta or warm flatbread for a festive meal.

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Large pinch red-pepper flakes, or to taste
1 chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), cut into parts
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups ripe, soft plums, pitted and cut into 3/4-inch thick slices
6 fresh thyme sprigs
1 medium red onion, peeled and sliced from root to stem in 1/2-inch wedges
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2/3 cup torn mint, basil or cilantro leaves (or a combination)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Toast the fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour seeds into a mortar and pound with a pestle until coarsely crushed (or lay seeds on a cutting board and pound them with a can or jar).
  • Put the seeds into a large bowl and stir in lemon juice, zest, garlic, honey, allspice and red-pepper flakes.
  • Season chicken generously all over with salt and pepper and add to the bowl, turning the pieces to coat them with marinade. Mix in plums and thyme sprigs. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to cook, heat the oven to 425 degrees. Put the chicken pieces, plums, and thyme sprigs on a rimmed baking pan. Add onions, spreading them out around the chicken and plums. Season plums and onions lightly with salt. Drizzle everything with olive oil.
  • Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes, removing the white meat if it's done before the dark meat.
  • Transfer chicken pieces as they are done to a platter. Spoon the plums and onions around the chicken. Drizzle a little of the pan drippings over the chicken and serve, garnished with the herbs and flaky salt.

BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS



Balsamic Roasted Onions image

This is a recipe I got in epicurious. It is one of those 'perfect' things you so rarely come across - nothing can be improved upon. Epicurious says it feeds 10. My husband and I say 'HA!!!' (it sometimes never makes it to the table and is eaten directly out of the pan).

Categories     Onions

Time 1h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs medium-size red onions, peeled
1/4 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 500°F.
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with foil.
  • Cut onions crosswise nearly, but not quite, all the way through. Make two or three more sectional cuts - always stopping before you cut through, so that onion is in 3/4-inch-thick wedges (the onion stays attached at one end and resembles an onion 'flower' (with very thick petals ;-) ).
  • Place in medium bowl; toss with oil.
  • Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes (they will caramelize and be quite dark in parts but, if you have coated them well with olive oil, will not have a 'burnt' taste).
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add vinegar.
  • Return to heat.
  • Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • (Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover separately and chill. Rewarm onions in 375°F oven about 15 minutes. Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.) Arrange onions on platter.
  • Drizzle glaze over.
  • Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • To caramelize the onions properly, use a heavy-bottomed pan and cook them over medium-low heat. This will allow them to soften and brown slowly without burning.
  • Stir the onions frequently to ensure even cooking and to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap vinegar will not have the same flavor or consistency as a more expensive one.
  • If you don't have balsamic vinegar, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar. However, the flavor of the onions will be slightly different.
  • Pan-roasted balsamic onions can be used as a side dish, a topping for pizza or pasta, or even as a condiment for grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Pan-roasted balsamic onions are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
