Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bell peppers (1 yellow, 1 red) seeded, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup medium- or long-grain rice
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup peas, thawed frozen or cooked fresh

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Melt the butter with the oil in a large deep skillet, with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until well browned, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until other side browns lightly, about 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add the peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, rice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir until the rice is coated. Pour in the broth, stir to distribute the rice evenly. Increase the heat to high and boil until liquid begins to be absorbed into the rice, about 2 minutes. Nestle the chicken in the rice. Cover and transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the rice is tender and chicken cooks through, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the cover, fluff the rice and stir in the peas. Cover and let sit to warm the peas, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Peppers image

This sheet-pan supper brings velvety sweet potatoes together with soft bell peppers, pungent sage and roasted chicken thighs. To counter the rich and caramelized flavors, quick-pickled thinly sliced red onion adds a bright and zippy note right at the end. If you prefer chicken breasts, you can use them here instead of the thighs. Choose bone-in, skin-on breasts if possible, and keep an eye on them. They'll cook faster than the thighs. Remove them when they're ready, but let the vegetables roast until they thoroughly golden and tender.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1 to 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 6 thighs)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces sweet potato (1 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large red, yellow or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small, shallow bowl, mix together vinegar and honey. Mix in half the red onion and a pinch of salt and set aside for garnish, tossing the mixture occasionally as the chicken cooks.
  • In a large bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, coriander and black pepper. Add chicken to bowl and rub the mixture all over it. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons oil, sweet potato, pepper, remaining onion, sage, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, cayenne and allspice. Spread vegetables out on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to marinated chicken and turn to coat. Place chicken pieces, skin-side up, among the vegetables, making sure chicken is surrounded by them, but not on top of them. (Chicken should rest directly on the baking sheet.)
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and raise heat to 450 degrees. Use a wide spatula to flip vegetables over (but not chicken). Drizzle chicken (but not vegetables) with 2 teaspoons liquid from the onion-vinegar mixture. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
  • To serve, top chicken and vegetables with a spoonful of onion-vinegar mixture and plenty of cilantro leaves.

My great recipe packet. I am taking this recipe from one of the recipe cards. Card 17. Simmered with red or green pepper, this eye-catching chicken dish is noteable for its sour cream sauce enlivened by a hint of tangy blue cheese. The savory sauce is delicious with egg noodles or fluffy rice.
