**Skillet Chicken with Rhubarb: A Unique and Flavorful Dish**
If you're looking for a unique and flavorful dish that's also easy to make, skillet chicken with rhubarb is a great option. This dish combines the savory flavor of chicken with the tartness of rhubarb, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The chicken is cooked in a skillet until golden brown, then simmered in a sauce made with rhubarb, onion, garlic, and spices. The result is a tender and juicy chicken dish with a slightly sweet and tangy sauce. This article provides two variations of the recipe: one with a creamy sauce and one with a tangy sauce. Both versions are delicious and easy to make, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste. The creamy sauce is made with sour cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese, while the tangy sauce is made with lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Both sauces complement the chicken and rhubarb perfectly.
RHUBARB AND HONEY CHICKEN
The sauce on this honey chicken is like a sweet-tart spin on teriyaki. Everyone who has tried it raves about it-even my husband, who's not usually a rhubarb lover. -Rachel Beach, Whitley City, Kentucky

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH RHUBARB
Sautéed with an aromatic blend of turmeric, cumin, garlic, onion, and ginger, rhubarb becomes a delicious, savory-leaning sauce. The mixture is then combined with a little broth and used as a simmer sauce for bonesless, skinless chicken breasts, imparting flavor to every bite.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper and dust with flour, tapping off excess. Heat a large oven proof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Place chicken in skillet, skinned side down and cook until browned and easily releases from pan, about 4 minutes; flip and brown second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, garlic, and ginger to pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cumin, turmeric, and sugar and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in broth and rhubarb and bring to a boil on top of stove.
- Nestle chicken back into pan. Transfer to oven and roast until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. If rhubarb is still underdone, remove chicken to a plate, tent with foil and return pan to oven until rhubarb is just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (Be careful, it's easy to overcook rhubarb and you don't want it to completely fall apart.) Stir in cilantro, then return chicken to pan, turning to coat in sauce. Serve chicken and sauce over rice or with flatbread, sprinkled with more cilantro.

Drizzle chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and some of the reserved rhubarb cooking liquid, scatter thyme over, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast chicken until skin is browned and crisp and meat is cooked through (juices will run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh should register 165°F), 40-50 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare grill for mediumhigh heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). Toss asparagus in a large bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill asparagus and lemons (cut side down), turning asparagus often, until stalks are just tender, 2-3 minutes. Let lemon halves cool.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH RHUBARB AND RED ONION
This easy yet robust dish celebrates rhubarb's savory side. Here, a bit of honey, some sliced sweet red onion and the rich juices of roasted chicken thighs and drumsticks temper its tartness. Serve this dish with a crackly baguette or some rice to catch the tangy sauce at the bottom of the pan. It's the best part.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees and line sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Place onion wedges on the prepared sheet pan and lightly season with more salt and pepper. Add chicken and thyme sprigs to the pan and drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over everything. Toss until well coated, then spread chicken and onions in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes.
- While the chicken is in the oven, combine rhubarb and 3 tablespoons honey in a medium bowl. Lightly drizzle with oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss until rhubarb is well coated.
- Remove chicken from oven and carefully spoon rhubarb onto the hot pan around the onions and chicken. Continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through, and the rhubarb and onion are tender and caramelized, 25 to 35 minutes longer, tossing the rhubarb and onions (not the chicken) once about halfway through.
- Stir the rhubarb and onions very well, making sure to incorporate all the browned bits and chicken juices from the bottom of the pan (this is the tastiest part). Then sample a piece of rhubarb. If it's very tart, drizzle with a little more honey, tossing well. Serve chicken with rhubarb-onion mixture garnished with herbs.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Sear the chicken until golden brown to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Use a variety of vegetables for a more colorful and flavorful dish.
- Add the rhubarb towards the end of the cooking time to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
This skillet chicken with rhubarb is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are crisp and flavorful, and the rhubarb adds a unique tartness that brightens up the dish. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a green salad.
