Ingredients

6 large chicken thighs (about 3.5 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cans (15oz each) corn, drained and divided
1 cup milk
1 chicken bouillon cube
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Browning the Chicken Thighs. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron pan (or oven proof skillet), over medium-high heat, until shimmering. Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, and brown for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from heat and reserve.
Prepare the milk. While the chicken thighs are browning, combine the milk, chicken bouillon and one can of corn (drained) in the jar of a blender. Blend until smooth. Reserve.
Making the Creamed Corn. After you've removed the chicken thighs, lower the heat to medium and remove all but 1 tablespoon of the chicken fat. Add the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and softened. Then, add the flour and stir, letting it cook slightly to get rid of that raw flour taste.
Slowly pour the reserved milk corn mixture into the pan, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add the heavy cream, remaining corn, a pinch of salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese, mixing well. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper, if necessary. Remove from heat.
Finishing in the oven. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, nesting them in the creamed corn. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the creamed corn is hot and bubbly and the chicken is crispy and cooked through. You can pop the pan under the broiler for the chicken to get extra crispy, if you wish.
Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed, plus 3 whole cloves garlic
Juice from 3 lemons
4 boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Oil, for oiling grill grates
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Fresno chiles, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 poblano chiles, seeded and small diced
1 small Maui or other sweet onion, minced
1/2 cup sherry wine
4 ears fresh sweet corn, shucked and kernels cut off cobs
1 medium yellow squash, sliced into 3/4-inch half-moons
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 3/4-inch half-moons
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chicken stock, plus more for thinning sauce if needed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup corn nuts, crushed in a plastic bag until sandy

Steps:

Whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic, sugar, crushed garlic and juice of 2 lemons in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken and marinade to a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the fridge for 3 hours.
Take the chicken out of the marinade and dry off. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Preheat a grill to high heat. Place a large cast-iron skillet on one side of the grill. Place a smoker box or foil pan with wood chips on the grill.
Once the smoker has begun to produce smoke, liberally oil the grill grates and place the chicken on the grates. (We are just looking for a quick hard sear on both sides to get that char flavor. The goal is to finish cooking in the creamy, smoky corn.)
Add the butter to the skillet along with the Fresnos, poblanos, onions and remaining 3 whole cloves garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent and chiles are tender, about 10 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry and add the fresh corn, squash, zucchini, cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan and half of the stock. Season to taste.
Add the chicken to the skillet and lower the grill to medium. Close the lid and smoke the skillet over medium heat, playing with the position of the skillet to ensure you get the liquid to simmer ever so slightly, until the chicken hits 160 to 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Take the skillet off the grill and pour in a little chicken stock if the sauce is very thick. Add the remaining lemon juice on top and garnish with the cilantro, remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and crushed corn nuts.

ONE-POT BRAISED CHICKEN WITH COCONUT MILK, TOMATO AND GINGER

One-Pot Braised Chicken With Coconut Milk, Tomato and Ginger image

Bone-in chicken thighs are a favorite go-to for weeknight meals, as they cook relatively quickly, are versatile and impart a lot of flavor in a short amount of time. Here, they are browned, then braised in a fragrant tomato-coconut broth flecked with ginger, garlic, cumin and cinnamon. The result is a rich, stew-like dish, which works nicely served over white rice. By cooking the rice as the chicken finishes braising, you can get everything on the table at the same time. A good squeeze of lime is not required, but it does give the dish a bright finish. Serve any remaining sauce at the table, with crusty bread for sopping.

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, at room temperature
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (14-ounce) can cherry or diced tomatoes with their juices
1 (13-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
Steamed white rice, for serving (optional)
3 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
1 lime, quartered, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Turn heat to medium-low, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes, and cook until the garlic and the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
Add the tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk, and stir until combined, scraping up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the rice, if using, among bowls and plate the chicken on top, spooning additional sauce over it. Scatter with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like.
