SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SQUASH, FENNEL AND SESAME



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Squash, Fennel and Sesame image

This recipe, created with the convenience of sheet pans in mind, has an effortless charm. Crisp-skinned chicken thighs and caramelized butternut squash get smokiness from chipotle and nuttiness from sesame seeds. The sweet flavors of the fennel and squash play off each other, while a generous sprinkling of lime juice adds a hit of acid for contrast. Feel free to swap butternut squash with your favorite fall squash. You can peel it before you cook, but you can also leave the skin on. Once roasted until tender, it'll release the squash easily when you eat it.

Categories     weekday, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large butternut squash, scrubbed (about 3 pounds)
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 to 8 thighs)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice plus 1 lime, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon ground fennel
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
Fine sea salt
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Trim and discard the ends of the squash, and halve the squash lengthwise. Scrape out and discard the seeds and pulp, then slice 3/4-inch thick. Place slices in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with clean paper towels and add them to the squash.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, coriander, sesame, fennel and chipotle. Drizzle the mixture over the chicken and squash. Season with salt and toss to coat evenly.
  • Spread the squash in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the squash and roast until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees and the skin of the chicken and the squash turns golden brown, at least 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken and squash to a serving dish. Sprinkle the cilantro on top and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI AND BASIL



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Zucchini and Basil image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs and drumsticks are seasoned with garlic, herbs and red-pepper flakes, and roasted alongside tender chunks of zucchini that caramelize in the oven's heat. Torn basil leaves and a squeeze of lemon give the dish sharp and tangy notes just before serving, while the optional coriander seeds tossed into the pan lend depth. This recipe comfortably serves two to three, but if you're feeding more people, feel free to double the ingredients. Divide the ingredients between two sheet-pans, and bear in mind that you might need to add a few minutes to the cooking time. Add some crusty bread or rice to soak up the savory juices, and you've got a summery meal that's fresh, full of flavor and an absolute snap to make.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds zucchini, sliced into 1-inch chunks (about 5 cups)
2 fat garlic cloves, finely grated, passed through a press or minced
2 teaspoons dried mint or oregano
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, cracked with a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place zucchini on a rimmed sheet pan, and season with a little more salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic, mint or oregano, coriander (if using) and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add chicken to the pan with the zucchini pieces and pour garlic mixture over all, tossing until well coated. Spread chicken and zucchini in a single layer, and roast until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is browned and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. You don't need to turn anything.
  • Once the pan is out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over everything. Garnish with basil and serve with more lemon wedges and red-pepper flakes on the side.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SQUASH AND DATES



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Squash and Dates image

This weeknight sheet-pan dinner combines chicken with simple ingredients that hit a number of notes, all salty, sweet, tangy and rich. The juicy Medjool dates caramelize as they cook, while the chickpeas become extra toasty and nutty. Their textures complement the velvety roasted squash and meaty chicken. A lemony olive-caper relish with fresh parsley, bolstered by pan juices, brightens and balances. Chop up leftovers and repurpose them in a rice salad with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan for extra tang. Or, for a fantastic vegetarian side dish or warm salad, you could make this recipe without the chicken.

Categories     dinner, poultry, roasts, vegetables, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds delicata squash (about 2 large squash), scrubbed, halved lengthwise, seeded and sliced crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 whole bone-in, skin-on chicken legs (about 3 pounds)
4 ounces pitted large Medjool dates (about 6), quartered lengthwise
1/2 cup pitted green olives (about 2 ounces), coarsely chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon drained capers, plus 2 tablespoons caper brine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine squash and chickpeas with 3 tablespoons oil; season well with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread in an even layer. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and arrange on top, skin-side up. Roast for 20 minutes, then stir in dates, and roast until squash is golden and chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes longer.
  • While the mixture roasts, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup oil with the olives, parsley, capers and caper brine, and lemon juice. Season the olive relish with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  • Divide the roasted chicken, squash, dates and chickpeas among plates. Stir any pan juices into the relish, then spoon the relish on top of each serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Butternut squash and zucchini are great choices for this recipe, but you can also use other vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, or Brussels sprouts.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the sheet pan: Make sure there is enough space between the vegetables so that they can cook properly.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender: This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Add the chicken: Once the vegetables are roasted, add the chicken breasts to the sheet pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Make the sauce: While the chicken is cooking, make the horseradish sauce. Simply combine the horseradish, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, serve it with the roasted vegetables and horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

This horseradish chicken, butternut squash, and zucchini sheet pan dinner is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Plus, it's a great way to use up any leftover vegetables you have on hand.
