Time 45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 teaspoon salt
1 pound fresh fava beans, shelled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 3 1/2 pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 pound small new potatoes, scrubbed and halved
16 garlic cloves, skin intact
8 small shallots, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups fresh morels, stems removed, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 1/2 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
3 tablespoons minced chives

Steps:

  • Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to a large pot of boiling water and cook the fava beans for 1 minute. Drain, submerge them in ice water, drain again, peel off the outer skins and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, turn the chicken and add the potatoes, garlic, shallots, thyme and bay leaves. Add the remaining salt and the pepper and put the skillet in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When hot, add the morels in one layer and saute until golden brown. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  • When the chicken has roasted for 10 minutes, pour the morels over the chicken. Stir until the vegetables are coated with broth. Continue to bake the chicken, basting with the pan juices, until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes longer.
  • Add the fava beans and chives to the chicken. Stir until the beans are coated with the pan juices and bake for 2 to 3 minutes more. Arrange the pieces of chicken in the center of a warm platter, pour the vegetables and pan juices over the meat.

I'm not a fan of potatoes, so I omitted them from the dish.

I'm allergic to fava beans, so I substituted them with edamame.
