Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
4 peaches, pitted, thickly sliced or halved
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 shallot, chopped
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, grated or minced
3/4 cup chicken stock
2/3 cup peach preserves
2 teaspoons hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet with the butter over medium heat. Add the peaches and the juice of 1/2 lemon, and cook until tender and lightly golden, 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • While the peaches cook, heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Cut the chicken breasts in half across the center of each breast to make 4 equal portions. Add the chicken breasts and thighs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes, then remove to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Drizzle the pan with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil, half a turn of the pan. Add the chopped shallot, and the ginger, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, the preserves, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and season with black pepper, to taste. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes to thicken. Arrange the chicken and peaches on a platter and douse with peach sauce. Portions are 1 piece of light meat and 1 thigh per person.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PEARS AND ARUGULA



Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken With Pears and Arugula image

In this hearty sheet-pan meal, thick pear wedges and chicken thighs seasoned with earthy, warming spices are roasted until soft and tender. During the last five minutes, crunchy sunflower seeds are scattered on the pan to sizzle in the pan juices, gaining a salty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the pears. A final topping of arugula soaks up any lingering juices and turns this into a full-on meal. Using firm, not-quite-ripe pears prevents them from becoming mushy and falling apart during the cooking process. Swap baby spinach for the arugula and sherry vinegar for the lemon juice, depending on what you have on hand. Serve any leftovers on a bed of fresh arugula, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger from a 2-inch piece
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 firm, semi-ripe Bartlett or Bosc pears, cored and quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
2 packed cups baby arugula
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the center.
  • Pat the chicken dry and trim excess fat and skin. Sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons salt, and season with pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the red-pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, ginger and oil. On a sheet pan, rub the chicken and pears all over with the mixture. Arrange chicken skin-side up and pears skin-side down. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees at the thickest part) and the pears are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, add the sunflower seeds to the pan. If there's a lot of fat when finished cooking, tilt the pan and spoon it off until there's a light coating on the surface of the pan.
  • Scatter the arugula on top, and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with herbs, if using. Cut the remaining lemon half in quarters and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pears: Using ripe pears will yield the best flavor and texture in the dish.
  • Choose the right type of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this recipe.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: A good quality soy sauce will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The chicken will be at its juiciest and the pears will be at their most tender.

Conclusion:

This Hawaiian chicken and pears recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, pineapple juice, and brown sugar, and the pears add a touch of sweetness and acidity. The dish can be served with rice or noodles, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
