Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 pound small red potatoes, quartered (about 8 potatoes)
1 small lemon, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and halved
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 cups baby arugula

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy and the skin releases easily from the skillet, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and flip the chicken over. Scatter the potatoes, then lemon and then the garlic around the chicken. Add 1 cup water, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated, an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F and the potatoes start to crisp from the remaining fat in the pan, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
  • Divide the arugula among 4 plates and top with the chicken and potatoes. . Spoon any juices left in the skillet over each dish.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable cooking spray
1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ¾ cups Swanson® Chicken Broth or Swanson® Chicken Stock
¾ cup uncooked white rice
1 (16 ounce) package frozen vegetable combination (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots)
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Paprika

Steps:

  • Stir the broth, rice and vegetables in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the cheese.

Tips:

  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for even cooking and a beautiful sear.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
