RUSTIC CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the flavored oil in a cold skillet.
• Cook on medium heat until the garlic and shallots are golden brown. Strain.
• Reserve the flavored oil and use for salad dressing, or to cook other dishes. It has such an amazing, in depth flavor.
• Wipe out the skillet, you'll use it to cook the rest of the meal.
• Prepare the chicken thighs. I cut out all the fat from the chicken thighs. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat 2 Tablespoons of the flavored oil, red wine vinegar and lemon juice in the same large skillet on medium high heat.
• Dredge the chicken in flour and place in the skillet.
• Cook until golden on both sides.
• Top with the onions, season with salt and pepper.
• Add the carrots on top of the onions and season with salt and pepper also.
• Pour in the chicken broth, until it barely covers the food.
• Cover and continue simmering for about 30 minutes until the carrots are tender. If you use regular baby carrots, you will need to cook it longer. I would just use regular carrots and cut them to the correct size or cut the baby carrots in half.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to your serving dish (I like serving this on top of rice).
• Meanwhile, take the remaining juices from the pan, strain them and make sure you have at least 1/2 a cup. Add more chicken broth if necessary.
• Return to the same skillet and add the cream cheese. Yep, we just made the whole meal in one skillet! I'm always up for less dishes to wash:). Melt the cream cheese in the broth, constantly whisking, to have a smooth consistency.
• Pour over the chicken and vegetables and garnish with minced parsley.

• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
• Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve any lumps. Add slurry to the drippings in the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.

• Add potatoes, cut side down, and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots and onions and cook until onions are soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup chicken broth, scraping up all the browned bits.
• Dissolve corn starch in 1/4 cup chicken broth and pour into the skillet. Stir until well combined.
• Place chicken thighs over vegetables, cover, and cook until carrots are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat chicken dry; season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet (such as cast iron) over medium-high. Add butter and 1 tablespoon oil. When butter melts and foam subsides, add chicken, skin-sides down. Cook, undisturbed, until skin lifts easily from skillet and forms a golden-brown crust, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, skin-sides up.
• Add leeks, carrots, bread cubes, garlic, lemon zest, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet, stirring to evenly coat; season with salt and pepper. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet, arranging breasts on top of vegetables in a single layer, skin-sides up.
• Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breasts reads 160°F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely cover to keep warm. Stir mint into skillet; return to oven. Roast until vegetables are tender and golden and bread turns crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice into vegetable mixture and sprinkle with more mint leaves. Drizzle remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice over rested chicken. Carve chicken; serve with vegetable mixture.

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN WITH PEAS AND CARROTS

• Heat a large high-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the chicken skin generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Season the underside with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed until the chicken easily releases from the pan and is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove the carrot tops, leaving about 1 inch of green stem attached to the carrots. Set aside the carrot tops. Cut the carrots into 2- to 3-inch pieces and set aside.
• Flip the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the carrots are softened and caramelized in places, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Return the chicken to the oven, then turn off the oven. The residual heat from the oven and the hot skillet will thaw and heat the peas.
• Put the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 12- to 14-cup food processor and pulse to chop the garlic into very fine pieces, 3 to 4 pulses. Add the carrot tops and pulse until very finely chopped, 6 to 8 pulses. While pulsing, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until combined. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Serve the chicken, peas and carrots with the carrot top gremolata.
