SHEET-PAN ROAST CHICKEN AND MUSTARD-GLAZED CABBAGE



Sheet-Pan Roast Chicken and Mustard-Glazed Cabbage image

This hearty one-pan meal is inspired by the classic combination of sausage and sauerkraut, but with chicken in place of pork and fresh cabbage instead of fermented. Cabbage slices are brushed with a simple mustard vinaigrette, then roasted underneath chicken thighs that have been seasoned with cumin and coriander. In the heat of the oven, the chicken crisps, the cabbage softens and the red onion becomes jammy and sweet. Serve with crusty bread and additional mustard on the side.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
2 tablespoons stone-ground coarse mustard, plus more for serving
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
4 teaspoons cumin seeds
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 medium red onions, peeled, then cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1/4 cup drained capers
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 bone-in, skin-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds total)
Torn fresh parsley, dill or arugula sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil with the mustard, garlic, vinegar and cumin seeds. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the cabbage: Halve the cabbage lengthwise through the core, then cut each half into 1-inch-thick wedges. (Make sure to continue cutting lengthwise through the core to keep the pieces intact.) You should have about 16 pieces.
  • Add the cabbage wedges to a large (13-by-18-inch) baking sheet. Brush all the wedges with half the vinaigrette, then carefully turn and brush the other side with remaining vinaigrette. Arrange in an even layer, then season generously with salt and pepper. On a separate baking sheet, brush the red onion rounds with olive oil on both sides; season generously with salt and pepper. Add the onion rounds to the cabbage wedges, interspersing the red onion and cabbage and tucking some onion rounds partly underneath. Sprinkle the capers evenly on top.
  • Prepare the chicken: In a small bowl, toss the coriander and cumin with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Place the chicken on the sheet pan where you oiled the onions and drizzle with olive oil all over, then rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the cabbage and onions, skin-side up.
  • Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the cabbage is lightly browned in spots and tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Top with parsley or dill and serve immediately, passing more mustard on the side.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PEARS AND ARUGULA



Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken With Pears and Arugula image

In this hearty sheet-pan meal, thick pear wedges and chicken thighs seasoned with earthy, warming spices are roasted until soft and tender. During the last five minutes, crunchy sunflower seeds are scattered on the pan to sizzle in the pan juices, gaining a salty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the pears. A final topping of arugula soaks up any lingering juices and turns this into a full-on meal. Using firm, not-quite-ripe pears prevents them from becoming mushy and falling apart during the cooking process. Swap baby spinach for the arugula and sherry vinegar for the lemon juice, depending on what you have on hand. Serve any leftovers on a bed of fresh arugula, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger from a 2-inch piece
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 firm, semi-ripe Bartlett or Bosc pears, cored and quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
2 packed cups baby arugula
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the center.
  • Pat the chicken dry and trim excess fat and skin. Sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons salt, and season with pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the red-pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, ginger and oil. On a sheet pan, rub the chicken and pears all over with the mixture. Arrange chicken skin-side up and pears skin-side down. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees at the thickest part) and the pears are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, add the sunflower seeds to the pan. If there's a lot of fat when finished cooking, tilt the pan and spoon it off until there's a light coating on the surface of the pan.
  • Scatter the arugula on top, and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with herbs, if using. Cut the remaining lemon half in quarters and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the right chicken: Choose a whole chicken that is about 3 to 4 pounds in size. Make sure the chicken is fresh and has no blemishes.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Add vegetables: To make a sheet pan dinner, add vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions to the baking sheet with the chicken. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roast the vegetables along with the chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and browned.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken sheet pan dinner is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It is a one-pan meal that is perfect for busy families. The chicken and vegetables are roasted together, which saves time and energy. This meal is also healthy and budget-friendly.
