Savory Braised Chicken With Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350. Put the chicken fat in a roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sprinkle the leg quarters with salt and pepper and add them to the pan, flesh side down. Cook, turning and rotating the pieces as necessary, until well browned on both sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove, then add the breast halves, skin side down. Brown them well, then flip and cook for just 1 minute or so; remove to a separate plate.
• Put the leeks, carrots, celery, mushrooms, herbs and chicken-wing meat in the same pan and cook until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Nestle the leg quarters among the vegetables, meaty side up. Add enough of the stock to come about halfway up the thighs. (The amount will depend on the breadth of your pan; add a little water if necessary.)
• Put the pan in the oven and cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour, checking occasionally and stirring the vegetables if they threaten to brown too much. When the thigh meat is tender, raise the heat to 400 and lay the breast halves on the vegetables, skin side up. Continue cooking until they are done, 20 to 30 minutes longer.
• Transfer the vegetables to a platter. You can serve one of two ways: slice the breasts and shred the leg-and-thigh meat and lay the meat on top of the vegetables; or cut the leg-thigh pieces in half, cut the breasts in half and give each person a little of each. Garnish with reserved chopped celery leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with the coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat a braiser or large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until melted and shimmering. Add the chicken to the pan, skin-side down. Sear until the skin is deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove to a plate. Stir the carrots into the pan and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger and turmeric and cook until fragrant, about 30 more seconds. Add the cauliflower and raisins and stir together. Pour in about 1/2 cup bone broth and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Pour in the remaining broth and the honey. Nestle the chicken back into the pan skin-side up. Bring to a boil, then place in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the cauliflower is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk soup, milk, basil, poultry seasoning, paprika, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Stir in carrots and potatoes and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until glistening.
• Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness and season both sides with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
• Lightly brown both sides of chicken breasts in skillet.
• Remove skillet from heat and pour soup mixture evenly over chicken breasts.
• Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soup mixture begins to thicken, and vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with ground black pepper to taste. Top each breast with a slice of cheese.
• Mix together the soup and milk and pour mixture over chicken. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and drizzle with melted butter/margarine. Bake covered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Spread chicken thighs on a clean work surface. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Italian seasoning all over them.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and brown for 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
• Add onions to the same skillet and stir up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions just start to become tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and remaining Italian seasoning. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Add chicken broth and return chicken thighs to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Return chicken to the skillet and increase heat to medium. Add tomatoes and spinach. Cook and stir until tomatoes are heated through and spinach is tender, but still bright green, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and balsamic vinegar; bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir for 3 minutes. If you prefer a creamier sauce, add more cream. Serve with shaved Parmesan cheese.
