with Potatoes, Carrots, and Greens

Yield: 2 Servings

Simply Recipes

This bistro-style crispy chicken is braised with carrots, potatoes, and, for good measure, greens in a mustard and lemon seasoned chicken broth. It all comes together easily in a skillet and adds up to a satisfying, flavorful meal.

  • 4bone-in, skin-on, chicken thighs (24 oz)
  • ¼tsp salt
  • ⅛tsp pepper
  • 1TBS olive oil
  • 12oz Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 6oz baby carrots
  • 2whole, unpeeled cloves garlic, smashed with the flat of a knife to break the skin
  • ½bunch Swiss chard
  • 1cups chicken stock
  • ½TBS Dijon mustard
  • finely grated zest of ½ lemon
  • ¼tsp dried thyme
  • lemon juice
  • ¼cup chopped parsley

Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

Trim and season the chicken thighs: With scissors or a sharp knife, cut off excess flaps of skin and fat from the thighs. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.

Prep the chard stalks and leaves: Tear or cut the stalks from the leaves. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces. Slice the leaves into 2-inch-wide strips. Keep the stalks and leaves separate.

Brown the chicken and par-cook the potatoes and carrots: In a large (12- to 13-inch) ovenproof skillet (NOT cast iron) set over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken with the skin side down. Cook on the skin side only for about 5 minutes without disturbing it, or until the skin lightly browns.

Transfer to a plate. (If the chicken doesn’t fit in one skillet, cook in batches, or use two smaller skillets and divide the ingredients between them.)

Add the potatoes and carrots to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until they brown lightly.

Prep the braising liquid: In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk the chicken stock, mustard, and lemon zest to combine.

Braise the chicken: Add the chard stalks, smashed garlic and braising liquid to the skillet with the vegetables. Set the chicken pieces on top and sprinkle with the thyme.

Transfer to the oven: Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast, uncovered, for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Remove the pan from the oven.

Add the chard leaves: Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate. Taste the broth and add more salt, if you like. Set the skillet over high heat and bring the liquid to a boil. Stir the chard leaves into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until wilted. Remove the garlic cloves.

Serve: Set the chicken on top of the vegetables. Squeeze the lemon over the chicken and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve from the skillet, or transfer to a large serving platter. Serve as is, or with a salad.

Yield: 2 Servings

Wok of Life

Shrimp and Broccoli was one of the most often ordered dishes at Wok of Life’s family Chinese restaurant.

  • 12oz shrimp (21-25); peeled, deveined, and butterflied)
  • 10oz broccoli florets
  • ½cup low sodium chicken stock (warmed)
  • ¼tsp granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2tsp soy sauce
  • ½tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1TBS oyster sauce
  • ½tsp sesame oil
  • ⅛tsp white pepper
  • 2TBS canola oil
  • 2cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1TBS Shaoxing wine
  • 1½TBS cornstarch (mixed with 2 TBS water)


Prep:

First, prepare the shrimp and broccoli. Next, in a medium pot, set 4 cups of water to a boil.

Premix sauce:

While that’s happening, mix the chicken stock, sugar, soy sauces, oyster sauce, sesame oil and white pepper and set aside.

Slurry:

Make a slurry by mixing 1½ TBS cornstarch with 2 TBS water in a small dish. Set aside.

Blanch:

Blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds. Remove and drain.

Let the water return to a boil and blanch the shrimp for 15 seconds. Remove and drain.

The shrimp will be about 60-70% cooked.

Stir-fry:

Heat the wok over high heat. Pour 2 TBS of cooking oil around the perimeter of the wok, stir in the garlic, and add the Shaoxing wine. Next, add the chicken stock mixture. Bring the sauce up to a boil and add the shrimp and broccoli back to the wok.

Once everything comes to a boil, drizzle in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens and starts to cling to the shrimp and broccoli. There should not be any standing sauce, although you can adjust this depending on your personal preference.

Serve with steamed white rice!
