Categories main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups seedless red and/or green grapes
1 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
2 sprigs fresh oregano
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups quick-cooking couscous, cooked according to package, warm

Steps:

Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large, ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Transfer the browned chicken and any juices to a baking sheet or large plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, 1 cup of the grapes, the olives, capers, oregano, wine and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter. Add the chicken and any juices back to the skillet, skin-side-up. Sprinkle the remaining grapes around the chicken. Continue cooking over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes.
Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the broiler.
Place the skillet underneath the broiler to crisp the chicken skin, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
To serve, divide the warm couscous among 4 plates and top each plate with 2 of the chicken thighs and a large spoonful of the sauce.

PASTA SALAD WITH CHICKEN AND GRAPES

Pasta Salad With Chicken and Grapes image

You can use cooked diced ham in place of the chicken, please don't omit the grapes, they really make this salad, but add them in just before serving so they will retain their crunch. Plan ahead this salad needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours or 24 hours. Please adjust all amounts to suit taste, if you are a dill-lover then increase the amount, this can easily be doubled, I sometimes add in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese into the dressing but that is optional ;-)
