CHICKEN WITH SPRING VEGETABLES

Dry vermouth is the surprise star in this recipe. While it performs similarly to a dry white wine, the herbs and botanicals used to make vermouth add a more complex flavor that complements the roasted vegetables on the plate. Since Vermouth is a wine, store it in the refrigerator after opening to keep it fresh.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch baby carrots, greens trimmed, halved lengthwise if large
1 small bulb fennel, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch asparagus (preferably thin), ends trimmed
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (8 to 10 ounces each)
1/3 cup dry vermouth or white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Toss the carrots and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Roast, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Add the asparagus, season with salt and roast until bright green and crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until well browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Carefully add the vermouth to the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board to rest, about 5 minutes. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the heavy cream and mustard to the pan juices, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley and vinegar.
  • Divide the vegetables among plates. Slice the chicken and add to the plates; spoon the pan sauce on top.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 pound baby new potatoes, halved if larger than 1/2"
1 bunch radishes (about 1/2 pound), halved
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon anchovy paste, or 6 fillets, finely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into 1-tablespoon pieces, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Using kitchen shears, remove bones from chicken thighs, keeping skin and flesh intact; discard bones. Season chicken all over with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
  • Toss asparagus, potatoes, radishes, 2 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Transfer everything but the asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet and roast 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grease another rimmed baking sheet with 1 tsp. oil. Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, sear chicken skin side down until skin is crisp and golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Transfer skin side up to prepared sheet. After all chicken is seared (reserve fat in skillet), transfer baking sheet to oven and roast until chicken is cooked though, 8-10 minutes.
  • When you open oven to roast chicken, remove baking sheet with vegetables, arrange asparagus over potatoes and radishes, then continue to roast until asparagus is crisp-tender and potatoes and radishes are well browned and tender, 8-10 minutes more (it should take the same amount of time to finish as the chicken).
  • Meanwhile, carefully pour off excess fat from reserved skillet, leaving browned bits on the bottom. Add garlic, anchovy paste, and 1 Tbsp. butter to skillet and cook over medium heat until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine, scraping up browned bits with a spatula or wooden spoon, and continue to cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Add remaining butter one piece at a time, swirling and stirring after each addition to fully emulsify sauce. Stir in 1 Tbsp. parsley.
  • Transfer chicken and vegetables to a platter, then pour sauce over. Top with more parsley before serving.
