Best 6 Pan Roasted Chicken With Harissa Chickpeas Recipes

EASY PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS

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.

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.
