CHICKEN WITH SPRING VEGETABLES



Chicken with Spring Vegetables image

Dry vermouth is the surprise star in this recipe. While it performs similarly to a dry white wine, the herbs and botanicals used to make vermouth add a more complex flavor that complements the roasted vegetables on the plate. Since Vermouth is a wine, store it in the refrigerator after opening to keep it fresh.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch baby carrots, greens trimmed, halved lengthwise if large
1 small bulb fennel, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch asparagus (preferably thin), ends trimmed
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (8 to 10 ounces each)
1/3 cup dry vermouth or white wine
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Toss the carrots and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Roast, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Add the asparagus, season with salt and roast until bright green and crisp-tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook until well browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Carefully add the vermouth to the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a cutting board to rest, about 5 minutes. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the heavy cream and mustard to the pan juices, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley and vinegar.
  • Divide the vegetables among plates. Slice the chicken and add to the plates; spoon the pan sauce on top.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES



Roast Chicken with Vegetables image

New cooks are intimidated by the idea of roasting a chicken, but nothing could be simpler. If you roast the chicken with some vegetables in the same pan for about an hour, you will have a moist, golden bird and savory accompaniments - all ready to eat at the same time. While they cook, you can set the table, watch the news, maybe make a dessert.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 whole carrots
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 medium-size yellow onions 4 sprigs fresh or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
8 small white or red potatoes (about 1H inches in diameter)
1 whole chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds
3 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Preparing the Vegetables Peel the carrots and cut them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Cut the thicker pieces in half lengthwise as well. Peel each onion and cut into quarters. Wash the potatoes under cold water to get rid of any dirt. Leave them whole and unpeeled. Scatter the carrots, onions, and potatoes on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking or roasting pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper over them, and lay 2 sprigs of the rosemary on top. If you are using dried rosemary, put 1 tablespoon in the palm of your hand and crumble it over the vegetables.
  • Preparing the Chicken The giblets, which consist of the liver, gizzard, and heart, plus the neck, are usually in a package inside the cavity of the chicken, between the legs. Remove them and discard or refrigerate them to use later. If there is a pale-yellow chunk of fat on either side of the cavity, pull or cut it off and discard. Hold the chicken under cold running water and rinse it inside and out. Shake off excess water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the remaining 11/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper over the outside of the chicken, rubbing them all over the skin. Set the chicken, the breast side facing up, on top of some of the vegetables, with the remaining ones surrounding the bird. Insert a dial-type (not instant-read) thermometer into the breast, taking care that the rod of the thermometer does not touch any bones.
  • Roasting the Chicken Put the chicken in the center of the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. When the timer rings, remove the pan from the oven and, using a large spoon, turn over the vegetables that surround the chicken. Don't bother with the vegetables under the chicken. Return the pan to the oven and set the timer for 30 more minutes. After 30 minutes, take the chicken out of the oven to check for doneness. Insert the tip of a small paring knife into the meat of the thigh where it attaches to the body. If the juices that run out are pink, the chicken needs to continue cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes. If the juices are clear, it is done. The meat thermometer should show a temperature of 170 degrees F to 180 degrees F when the chicken is done.
  • Carving the Chicken Carve the chicken according to the instructions on the preceding page. Scoop the vegetables out of the roasting pan and onto a serving platter. Remove the fat from the pan juices. Arrange the cut chicken pieces on top of vegetables, spoon some pan juices over the chicken and vegetables, scatter the 2 remaining rosemary sprigs on top and bring the dish to the table for serving.

COCONUT MILK-SIMMERED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH VEGETABLES



Coconut Milk-Simmered Chicken Breasts With Vegetables image

This fast but fabulous chicken dish pairs Thai-inspired flavors with French technique. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts have weeknight appeal, largely because they cook so quickly, but that also means they can dry out and become tough if you're not careful. Here, the chicken is gently cooked for about 10 minutes, then simmered in a ginger-scented coconut sauce studded with green beans and corn, resulting in tender and juicy chicken. Slicing the breasts before serving allows the sauce to coat each piece, adding more moisture and flavor. If you want more heat, sprinkle thinly sliced serrano chile over the top before serving. The best part is the entire meal comes together in about a half-hour: If you're quick, you can get all the vegetable prep done while the chicken cooks.

Provided by Susan Spungen

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, grains and rice, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil
1 large shallot, peeled and thinly sliced into rings
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, finely grated (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 small serrano chile or jalapeño, finely chopped, or more to taste
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk
6 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise
1 ear fresh corn, kernels removed, or 1 cup frozen corn kernels
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 limes (1 zested and juiced; 1 cut into wedges)
Fish sauce (optional)
Jasmine rice, for serving
16 Sungold or other cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt. In a large (12-inch) lidded skillet, heat the oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, turn to coat with the oil, cover and cook until the thickest part feels springy to the touch, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (For best results, try not to let the chicken brown, and do not overcook; you'll be cooking it more later.) Set the chicken aside on a warm plate, leaving any liquid in the skillet, and cover the chicken with foil.
  • Heat the skillet over medium. Add shallot and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and chile, and cook for 1 minute. Add stock, raise heat to high and cook, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, until thick and syrupy, about 1 minute.
  • Add the coconut milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Stir in green beans and corn, and lower heat to medium-high for a steady simmer. Cover and cook until beans are crisp-tender but still bright, and coconut milk is slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add chopped cilantro and grated zest of the lime (saving a bit for the top), then season to taste with fish sauce, if using, and salt. Return chicken to the sauce, turning to coat, cover and cook until warmed and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice.
  • Slice each chicken breast. Serve over jasmine rice, then spoon the vegetables and sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining lime zest, and garnish with tomatoes and cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and efficient in the kitchen.
  • Season your chicken: Don't forget to season your chicken with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook your chicken properly: To ensure that your chicken is cooked through, cook it to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking your chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables instead.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your dish. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme.
  • Serve your dish immediately: Chicken breasts with vegetables is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the dish is hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts with vegetables is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. This dish is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
