Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium tomatoes, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch-thick strips
1 large onion, cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
1/4 cup pitted Nicoise or Kalamata olives
4 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 4-pound whole chicken
1 small sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Put the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, olives and anchovies in a large roasting pan. Add the marmalade, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water and toss to coat thoroughly.
  • Pat the chicken dry, insert the rosemary into its cavity and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a couple turns of pepper. Push the vegetables to the sides of the roasting pan and put the chicken breast-side up in the center.
  • Roast for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken so that it is breast-side down and continue to roast until golden brown all over, about 15 minutes. Flip the chicken back to breast-side up and continue to roast until the vegetables are saucy and tender and the chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should register 165 degrees F), about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 10 minutes, then cut the chicken into pieces and serve with the vegetables.

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2½kg chicken, jointed (ask your butcher to do this)
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
200ml white wine
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp thyme leaves
10 ripe plum tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp tomato purée
½ tsp herbes de Provence
1 tbsp fennel seeds
500ml chicken stock
1 celery stick, finely diced
15 button or silverskin onions, or small shallots, peeled
285g jar chargrilled artichoke hearts, drained
100g pitted green olives

Steps:

  • Tip the chicken into a large bowl or dish and add the garlic, wine, 2 tbsp oil and the thyme. Season with 2 tbsp flaky salt and mix well until completely coated. Cover and chill for at least a few hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Heat grill to high. Arrange the plum tomatoes on a tray, cut-side up, drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and grill for 15 mins, or until charred. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large casserole dish or flameproof roasting tin. Scrape the marinade off the chicken pieces back into the bowl and fry the chicken in batches for about 15 mins until the skin is golden and crisp - watch out, the oil has a tendency to sputter. Remove the chicken from the dish and pour off the oil. Place the dish back on the heat, add the tomato purée and cook for 2 mins, then add the herbs, fennel seeds, remaining marinade and chicken stock. Bring up to the boil, add the grilled tomatoes, then simmer gently for 20 mins.
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Nestle the chicken pieces back into the dish, then stir them in to coat in the sauce. Scatter over the celery, button onions and artichokes. Bring up to a simmer, pop the lid on, then transfer to the oven and cook for 1 hr. Remove the lid and stir in the olives. Season to taste and leave everything to settle for 15 mins before serving straight from the dish.

ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENçAL



Roasted Chicken Provençal image

This is a recipe I picked up from Steven Stolman, a clothing and interior designer whose "Confessions of a Serial Entertainer" is a useful guide to the business and culture of dinner parties and general hospitality. It is a perfect dinner-party meal: chicken thighs or legs dusted in flour and roasted with shallots, lemons and garlic in a bath of vermouth and under a shower of herbes de Provence. They go crisp in the heat above the fat, while the shallots and garlic melt into sweetness below. You could serve with rice, but I prefer a green salad and a lot of baguette to mop up the sauce.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 chicken legs or 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
1 lemon, quartered
8 to 10 cloves garlic, peeled
4 to 6 medium-size shallots, peeled and halved
1/3 cup dry vermouth
4 sprigs of thyme, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow pan, and lightly dredge the chicken in it, shaking the pieces to remove excess flour.
  • Swirl the oil in a large roasting pan, and place the floured chicken in it. Season the chicken with the herbes de Provence. Arrange the lemon, garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken, then add the vermouth to the pan.
  • Put the pan in the oven, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, then baste it with the pan juices. Continue roasting for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is very crisp and the meat cooked through.
  • Serve in the pan or on a warmed platter, garnished with the thyme.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of the tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of the dish, so be sure to select ripe, juicy tomatoes that are at their peak of flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano, add a vibrant flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the chicken and tomatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and the tomatoes from caramelizing properly.
  • Roast the chicken and tomatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken and tomatoes at a high temperature will help to create a flavorful crust on the chicken and caramelize the tomatoes.
  • Let the chicken and tomatoes rest before serving: After roasting the chicken and tomatoes, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This Provençal Chicken and Tomato Roast is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of roasted chicken, tomatoes, and herbs creates a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side of roasted potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
