ONE-PAN CRISPY SPAGHETTI AND CHICKEN



One-Pan Crispy Spaghetti and Chicken image

This dish has won the hearts of adults and children alike, and for good reason: It's easy to prepare, fun to eat and doesn't call upon any hard-to-source ingredients. Cooking the spaghetti in this way lends plenty of texture, allowing for crispier bits at the edges and softer bits throughout. Feel free to make this dish your own by using up any soft herbs or hard cheeses you have on hand, or sprucing it up further with the addition of spice (cumin would work great here). Serve with some lightly cooked greens for a complete meal.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 pounds/1 kilogram bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 6 thighs), deboned
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 large yellow onion (about 8 ounces/220 grams), cut into 1/2-inch/1-centimeter dice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cups/480 milliliters boiling water
8 ounces/230 grams spaghetti, broken into thirds
1/3 lightly packed cup finely grated Parmesan (about 3/4 ounce/20 grams)
3 tablespoons/20 grams fresh bread crumbs
1/2 cup/10 grams finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit/220 degrees Celsius.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large, ovenproof lidded skillet and heat over high. Season the chicken with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to the hot oil, skin-side down. Cook for 7 minutes, without turning, to brown well.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-high, then stir in the onion and turn over the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onion has softened and is lightly browned. Add the tomato paste, garlic and 1 tablespoon thyme, and cook, stirring the paste into the onions, for 2 minutes, until fragrant and everything is nicely browned.
  • Add the boiling water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then add the spaghetti, stirring to submerge and evenly distribute. Use tongs to lift the chicken pieces so they sit on top of the spaghetti, skin-side up. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and transfer to the oven for 30 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.
  • While the pasta is in the oven, in a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon zest and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme.
  • After the pasta has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven and reset the temperature to a high broil (grill) setting. Sprinkle the Parmesan bread crumbs over the pasta and chicken, drizzle with the remaining oil and return to the center rack to broil (grill) for 3 to 4 minutes, until nicely browned and crisp. Leave to settle for about 5 minutes before serving warm, directly from the pan.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will help ensure that the pasta has enough room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much pasta or chicken to the skillet, it will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will give the dish its flavor, so make sure to use one that you enjoy.
  • Top with Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic topping for pasta dishes and it adds a delicious salty and nutty flavor.

Conclusion:

One-pan crispy spaghetti and chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The pasta is cooked in a flavorful sauce until it is al dente, and the chicken is cooked until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The dish is then topped with Parmesan cheese and served immediately. This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or pasta, and it is also a great meal for busy weeknights.
