CHIMICHURRI CHICKEN



Chimichurri Chicken image

Green chimichurri, the classic Argentinian sauce often made with fresh herbs, garlic, red-pepper flakes and red-wine vinegar, livens up whatever it's spooned over: steak, chicken, tofu, fish or vegetables. In this simple recipe, boneless chicken gets three layers of zesty chimichurri flavor: First, it's marinated in the sauce. Then, it's sautéed, grilled or roasted, which further intensifies the flavors and encourages caramelization. Finally, just before serving, it's drizzled with fresh chimichurri for a bright finish. You can make the sauce in a food processor, but chopping the aromatics by hand makes it especially fragrant. Keep the extra to serve with the chicken, alongside fluffy white rice, crusty bread or creamy potatoes.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup parsley leaves and stems
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: On a cutting board, smash and coarsely chop the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mash the mixture using the side of your knife until a coarse paste forms. Move the paste to the side of the cutting board, then chop the parsley and oregano together with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Combine the garlic paste and the chopped herbs and chop and mash until the herbs are bruised and fragrant.
  • Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the red-pepper flakes, black pepper, vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil; stir to combine. (You should have about 3/4 cup chimichurri. It can be prepared in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days.)
  • Make the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. If thickness varies greatly, pound to an even thickness, about 1/2-inch. Rub half the chimichurri all over the chicken and let sit for at least 10 minutes. (You could also refrigerate overnight; just let it come to room temperature before cooking.)
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Wipe off excess marinade from the chicken and cook until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and 4 minutes per side for breasts. (For grilling and oven instructions, see Tips below.)
  • Serve with remaining chimichurri spooned over top.

CHICKEN AND SHRIMP CARBONARA



Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara image

My wife and I went to that popular Italian-American restaurant chain for dinner recently, and I had their shrimp and chicken carbonara. It was absolutely delicious and I thought, 'What the heck, I'll try making this at home.' I found a few recipes online, but none grabbed me. After studying several recipes, I came up with this recipe on my own. It's fairly simple to make, and my wife said it was better than the original.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
8 slices smoked bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
4 egg yolks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup Sauvignon Blanc wine

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken with 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pan. Fry shrimp until red on the outside and white on the inside, 6 to 8 minutes. Place with the chicken.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Add bacon to the pan; cook until just crispy, not crunchy, about 6 minutes. Drain on 2 paper towels. Saute onion in the bacon grease until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • While onion is sauteeing, mix cream, Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning together in a bowl.
  • Pour wine into the pan with the onions. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the creamy egg mixture and reduce heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and shrimp; mix to coat. Serve on top of pasta.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce, and high-quality meats and seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing chicken or shrimp, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will result in steamed, rather than seared, food.
  • Use a good quality pan: A good quality pan will help you get a nice sear on your chicken and shrimp. Look for a pan that is heavy-bottomed and has a nonstick surface.
  • Don't overcook the chicken or shrimp: Chicken and shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked chicken and shrimp will be tough and dry.
  • Make sure the chimichurri sauce is well-balanced: The chimichurri sauce should be flavorful and well-balanced. Make sure it has a good balance of acidity, sweetness, and heat.

Conclusion:

This flavorful and easy-to-make dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken and shrimp are cooked to perfection and the chimichurri sauce adds a delicious pop of flavor. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
