ROAST CHICKEN WITH PEPPERS, FOCACCIA AND BASIL AIOLI



Roast Chicken With Peppers, Focaccia and Basil Aioli image

Surrounded by caramelized peppers, focaccia croutons - some crisp, some soaked with vinegar and chicken jus - and a bright basil aioli, this roast chicken dish is filled with delights that can only be earned through home-cooking and family-style eating. The deliciousness of this recipe relies on layering flavor and encouraging pan juices. Marinate the chicken and peppers generously, seasoning at various stages. Next, place some focaccia underneath the chicken to roast in schmaltz, and tuck smaller shards of the bread like a wreath around the edge of the dish, where they will crisp. If your dish runs dry during cooking, add a splash more vinegar. The basil aioli is crucial, though it doesn't need to be homemade: Use the best store-bought version you can find and spruce it up with the basil, lemon and garlic paste.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 whole chicken (4 to 5 pounds)
1 tablespoon dried oregano, preferably wild
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup good-quality red wine vinegar
3 red bell peppers
2 yellow bell peppers
1 loaf focaccia (about 14 ounces), halved horizontally if thicker than 1 inch
2 heads garlic, sliced in half widthwise through cloves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 packed cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons), plus more to taste
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
4 egg yolks
2 2/3 cups extra-virgin olive oil
Cold water, as needed

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken: Set the chicken on a work surface breast-side down. Use shears or kitchen scissors to remove and discard the backbone, then cut through the wishbone and along one side of the breast plate to separate the chicken into two halves. In a 9-by-13-inch (or similar size) baking dish, season the two chicken halves with half the oregano, 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Drizzle with 3/4 cup vinegar. Set aside, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours in advance.
  • Blister the peppers: Turn the stovetop gas flames on high heat. Place the peppers directly over the flames, bottom-side down, and blister until the peppers are beginning to soften, rotating until the bottom, sides and tops are blackened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper bag, fold to seal and let cool, 5 minutes.
  • Working over a bowl to collect the juices, peel each pepper, then tear into thick strips, discarding the stems and seeds as you separate the pepper. Season peppers with the remaining 1/4 cup vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and toss to coat.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Tear 2 pieces of focaccia (using about half the loaf) into portions that are slightly smaller than the 2 pieces of chicken. Rub both pieces of focaccia with the halved garlic and transfer to the baking dish. Place the marinated chicken on top of each piece of torn focaccia, skin side up. Tuck garlic heads and peppers around the chicken. Tear remaining focaccia into shards and tuck these around the chicken and peppers. Pour any juices from the peppers over the whole dish and drizzle the olive oil over everything.
  • Bake until the chicken comes to 165 degrees, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your bird. If bread or peppers are getting burned before the chicken is fully cooked, cover those areas with aluminum foil and continue cooking.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the aioli: Using a mortar and pestle, working in batches if necessary, mash basil with lemon juice, garlic and sea salt until it forms a paste. Either by hand in a bowl with a whisk or in a food processor, whirl egg yolks then begin adding the oil very slowly, whisking or blending until mixture is emulsified and thickened and all the oil has been added. (If mixture seems to thicken too much for the machine as you blend, pause to add a tablespoon of cold water.) Blend in basil paste until combined. Add additional cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve a dippable texture; season to taste with salt and lemon. (Makes 3 1/2 cups.) Use immediately or refrigerate until use, up to 3 days (see Tip).
  • Once chicken is cooked through, remove from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve directly from the baking dish, family-style, with aioli on the side.

Provided by Mezzetta

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, drained, sliced in strips
1 cup Mezzetta® Pitted Castelvetrano Italian Olives, drained and halved
1 cup yellow squash, or zucchini, or potatoes, sliced in ¼-inch (6 mm) thick half moons
1 can tomato, diced
½ cup dry white wine, (or chicken stock)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaf, chopped
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the olive oil and tilt to coat the pan. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook without disturbing for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes, until lightly browned on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
  • Add the Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Mezzetta® Pitted Castelvetrano Italian Olives, and yellow squash, then cook for 1 minute, stirring to combine.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes and white wine, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes start to break down and the mixture begins to reduce slightly.
  • Fold in the butter, then add the chopped thyme and red pepper flakes, if using, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Nestle the chicken thighs into the sauce, skin-side up, leaving some of the skin exposed.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily pulls away from the bone. Cover the pan loosely with foil if the skin starts to get too dark.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with the parsley and serve.
  • Enjoy!

2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
All purpose flour
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and garlic and sauté until pepper are tender, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer peppers to bowl.
