Balsamic Roasted Chicken Thighs With Root Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚. Generously season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook until the skin is very golden, about 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Meanwhile, peel the rutabaga and turnip, cut in half and thinly slice. Arrange about half of the vegetables in the drippings in the skillet, going around in concentric circles and overlapping slightly to make an even layer. Sprinkle with half each of the parmesan and rosemary and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining vegetables, parmesan and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and cook until the broth is bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the chicken skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the mustard and horseradish in a small bowl. Serve the chicken and vegetables with the mustard sauce on the side. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour. If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat. Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.
