Oltranti and his family prepare this dish with rabbit, but it's equally appealing with chicken. Roasted with super-savory pancetta and olives, the garlicky meat stays moist in a shallow bath of white wine.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH JAMMY TOMATOES AND PANCETTA



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Jammy Tomatoes and Pancetta image

In this relatively speedy sheet-pan dinner, boneless, skinless chicken thighs are seasoned with a savory, cumin-scented spice mix and roasted with whole garlic cloves and cherry tomatoes, which turn soft and sweet in the oven's heat. If you have ripe summer cherry tomatoes, you can skip the brown sugar. If you'd rather use boneless chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time by about 5 to 7 minutes. This makes a light meal on its own, but you can add rice or crusty bread, and maybe a salad, if you need something more substantial.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
9 whole unpeeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon sweet or smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pint cherry tomatoes (preferably different colors), halved
2 ounces diced pancetta or bacon
1/4 cup torn fresh dill, parsley or other herbs, for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Season chicken all over with salt, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Smash all the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and peel them. Finely grate one garlic clove and put it in a small bowl. Stir in the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice, paprika, oregano, brown sugar (if using) and cumin. Pour over chicken, tossing to coat.
  • Add tomatoes and remaining smashed, peeled garlic cloves to baking sheet, spreading them out around the chicken. Season tomatoes lightly with salt and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Scatter pancetta on top.
  • Roast until chicken is golden and cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the tomatoes and pancetta, but don't disturb the chicken.
  • Transfer chicken to plates. Stir the tomatoes and pancetta around in the pan, scraping up all the delicious browned bits from the bottom and sides, and stir in the herbs and black pepper to taste. Taste and add salt, if needed, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if you like. Spoon tomatoes, garlic and pancetta over the chicken to serve.

PAN COOKED CHICKEN WIHT ASPARAGUS, PANCETTA AND OLIVES



PAN COOKED CHICKEN WIHT ASPARAGUS, PANCETTA AND OLIVES image

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 chicken breast supreme, skin removed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
3 slices smoked pancetta
8 medium-sized spears asparagus, woody ends trimmed off
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
5 kalamata olives, stones left in
Handful basil leaves
Small knob unsalted butter
Splash white wine

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the chicken into 3 finger size pieces, but ensure that you keep it as 1 piece (fan it out). This will help to cook the chicken much faster. Season with salt and pepper. 2. Heat a medium-sized frying pan, add some oil, and brown the chicken on all sides. Place the pancetta on top of the chicken and the asparagus around it, let it char a little, then put the pancetta on the bottom of the pan to crisp up and turn the chicken over. Turn up the heat, throw in the tomatoes, olives, basil, and a good knob of butter. Take off the heat once the butter has melted and add a splash of wine to make a sauce, squishing in a few of the tomatoes to finish it off.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Free-range chicken, fresh asparagus, and salty pancetta will make a world of difference in this dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Add the asparagus to the pan during the last few minutes of cooking so that it remains crisp.
  • Serve the chicken and asparagus immediately with a side of pancetta-infused olive oil.

Conclusion:

This pan-cooked chicken with asparagus, pancetta, and olives is an easy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the asparagus is crisp and flavorful, and the pancetta and olives add a salty and savory touch. Best of all, this dish can be cooked in just one pan, making it a breeze to clean up.
