Pan Cooked Chicken With Tomatoes And Shallots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Working quickly, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, swirling it around the pan. Add the chicken, skin side down. Add the shallots, cut side down and not overlapping. Cook until the chicken and shallots are browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the shallots and chicken, nestle in the rosemary sprigs, then carefully pour in the chicken stock.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the shallots are tender, 12 to 14 minutes, removing the smaller pieces of chicken first as they become cooked. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
• Check the skillet with the shallots to make sure the stock has not evaporated; if less than a few tablespoons remain, add 1/2 cup more stock or water. Reduce the pan juices over medium heat until about 1/2 cup of liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with a wooden spoon to thicken the pan sauce until it coats the spoon. Remove the rosemary and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and scallions and the rest onto the plate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil. Adjust the top rack to about 6 inches from the heat.
• Cut the tomatoes in half and put them onto a baking sheet, cut-side up. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Place under the broiler and cook until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to brown around the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Reserve 4 halves for the Round 2 Recipe French Stew.
• While the tomatoes are cooking, remove the breast meat from the bone. Slice each piece across horizontally to get 4 large, thin pieces.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn them over and brown the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet, cover and keep warm.
• Put the same skillet over medium heat, add the chicken broth and, using a wooden spoon, scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the mustard and oregano and bring to a simmer. Add the tomatoes and their juices from the baking sheet. Break apart the tomatoes with a wooden spoon or potato masher. Add the butter and let cook until the butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken pieces to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat the chicken through and blend the flavors.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. When it is hot, add the sausage pieces and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium and add the reserved tomatoes, reserved beans and chicken broth. Cook until everything is hot and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are browned, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, divide the sausage and beans into 2 bowls and spoon the breadcrumbs on top.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet, working in batches, until it is crisp. Drain on a plate lined with a brown paper bag or paper towels. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Remove all except 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet and put it over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, being careful not to let the garlic burn. Add the tomatoes and beans and cook until the beans are heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the bacon and parsley. Reserve 1 1/2 cups for the Round 2 Recipe French Bean Stew.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pat the chicken dry and season it on all sides with salt and pepper.
• In a large (12-inch) oven-proof skillet, working in batches as needed to avoid crowding, add the oil, then add the chicken pieces, skin-side down. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is crisp and releases easily from the skillet, and the fat is rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with additional chicken pieces as needed.
• Add the shallots to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and arrange so most are cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the shallots and repeat until browned on the other side, another 5 minutes.
• Add the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Add the chicken, skin-side up, on top of the shallots. Roast until the shallots have collapsed and the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Check the chicken halfway through. If the skillet looks dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Serve the chicken and shallots with the pan juices.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the flour, salt and pepper over the chicken.
• Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
• Add the whole shallots to the pot and sauté them in the butter and chicken fat until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stir with a large spoon, then add the mustard and tarragon, then the chicken thighs. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid, and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot, stir lightly to combine and serve immediately.

Steps:

• To prepare sauteed tomatoes and shallots:.
• Heat oil in heavy-bottomed medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cherry tomatoes, and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/8 teaspoon salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, pine nuts and vinegar.
• Reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and slightly wrinkled.
• Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature, until ready to serve with chicken. Stir in basil.
• To prepare dish:.
• Heat oil in heavy-bottomed medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Add to skillet, skin side down. Cook 5 minutes. Turn skin-side up, and cook another 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet.
• Add wine to skillet, and scrape up browned bits with wooden spoon. Add broth, and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to skillet. Cover and cook chicken for 13 to 15 minutes on one side; turn over and cook another 13 minutes on second side.
• Remove chicken from skillet. Turn heat to high, and reduce pan juices slightly, about 1 minute.
• To serve, arrange chicken on plates. Spoon skillet juices over chicken and pass Tomatoes and Shallots separately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Season both sides of chicken with salt and black pepper and place in prepared pan. Arrange shallots and tomatoes around chicken (or on a second baking sheet that's been coated with nonstick cooking spray). Toss with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Roast 30 minutes, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and vegetables are tender.
• Set aside 2 chicken breast halves for primavera.
• In a large skillet, combine beans, roasted shallots and tomatoes, 1 cup of the broth, thyme, and oregano. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add chicken and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and top with parsley.

Steps:

• Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. With a poultry shears or sharp knife, make two vertical cuts about 1 1/2 inch apart on each side of the backbone, all the way from the neck to the tail. Cut through the bones, and remove the backbone and tail. Open up the chicken so it lays flat.
• With the chicken still breast side down, use your sharp knife to slice through the cartilage at the top of the breast bone, working from the inside of the chicken. Hold the chicken in your two hands, and bend it backwards to make the breastbone pop out; pull out the breastbone and the cartilage. Use your knife to slice out the ribs from the inside, if you desire. Try not to cut through the skin.
• In a small bowl, mix the sage, salt, and black pepper. Use your fingers to rub the sage mixture all over the inside and outside of the chicken, and push the seasonings under the skin as well.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Have a second heavy skillet (such as a cast-iron skillet) or a heavy Dutch oven ready for flattening the chicken. (If you don't have either of those things, wrap a brick in aluminum foil.) When the oil and butter just begin to give off wisps of smoke, place the chicken into the skillet, skin side down and flat. The "knees" of the chicken legs should point towards each other so the legs are flat. Place a piece of aluminum foil on top of the chicken, and weight it down with the heavy skillet or Dutch oven to press the chicken down as it cooks.
• Cook the chicken until the skin is crisp and browned, 12 to 15 minutes; carefully remove the weight and foil, and turn the chicken over so the opened-up side is down. Replace the foil and weight, and cook the chicken until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thigh meat, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter and heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and brown on both sides in the skillet. Cover, and continue cooking 10 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear. Set aside, and keep warm.
• Mix shallots and garlic into skillet over medium heat, and cook until tender. Stir in wine, and cook until heated through. Stir in broth, and continue cooking 5 minutes, or until reduced and slightly thickened. Mix in the remaining butter until melted. Serve the sauce over the chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss tomatoes, oil, vinegar, garlic, 1 Tbsp. oregano, and 1 tsp. salt on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet.
• If using skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slice them into 4 cutlets: Holding knife blade parallel to board, cut breast in half, slicing along a long side, to make 2 pieces.
• Season chicken on all sides with pepper and remaining 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. oregano. Nestle chicken into tomato mixture. Roast until chicken is almost fully cooked through and tomatoes are starting to burst, 8-10 minutes. Arrange mozzarella rounds over chicken and tomatoes. Return to oven and roast until cheese is melted and chicken is fully cooked through, 2-4 minutes. Top with onion and peperoncini.
