SKILLET ROAST CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS



Skillet Roast Chicken With Caramelized Shallots image

Chicken, shallots, a splash of oil and vinegar - that's all you need to make this deeply flavorful one-pot dish. The shallots caramelize and sweeten under the crisping chicken, while vinegar adds tang to keep things interesting. You could toss in mustard, herbs, fresh chile or toasted spices with the vinegar for a twist. Don't forget some crusty bread or rice; you'll want either as a landing pad for the sweet, schmaltzy shallots and pan juices.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
15 shallots, peeled, trimmed and halved through the root
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pat the chicken dry and season it on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large (12-inch) oven-proof skillet, working in batches as needed to avoid crowding, add the oil, then add the chicken pieces, skin-side down. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is crisp and releases easily from the skillet, and the fat is rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with additional chicken pieces as needed.
  • Add the shallots to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and arrange so most are cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the shallots and repeat until browned on the other side, another 5 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Add the chicken, skin-side up, on top of the shallots. Roast until the shallots have collapsed and the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Check the chicken halfway through. If the skillet looks dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Serve the chicken and shallots with the pan juices.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS



Roast Chicken with Caramelized Shallots image

Adapted from French Farmhouse Cookbook (Workman) by Susan Herrmann Loomis I use a whole chicken cut into eight pieces; two legs, two thighs, and I cut each breast piece in half, crosswise, keeping the wings attached. You could also just use eight of your favorite chicken pieces. The shallots I used were about the size of an unshelled walnut. The total weight of the four shallots is about 6 ounces (170g.)

Provided by David

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 large shallots (peeled and minced)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
One whole chicken (cut into 8 pieces)
one generous handful of coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC.)
  • In a large baking dish, one which will hold all the chicken pieces in a single layer, mix the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, shallots, and some salt and pepper.
  • Toss the chicken in the mixture so they're completely coated with the shallots. Turn the chicken pieces so they are all skin side up.
  • Roast the chicken until it starts to brown on top, about 20 minutes. Turn the pieces of chicken over. Scrape any juices and shallots over the chicken that may be clinging to the pan, and bake for another twenty minutes, or until the pieces of chicken are cooked through and the shallots are well-caramelized.
  • Remove from oven and toss with the chopped parsley.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless chicken breasts, skin on (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
1/4 cup minced shallots (1 large)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, diced, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and sprinkle them generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, until it begins to smoke. Place the chicken breasts, skin side down, in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until golden brown.
  • Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts skin side up, place the skillet in the oven, and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, combine the white wine, lemon juice, and shallots and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain in the pan. If it reduces too much, add an extra splash of white wine or water. Add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat, add the diced butter, and swirl the pan until the butter is incorporated. Don't reheat or the sauce will "break"! Sprinkle with salt and serve the chicken hot with the sauce spooned over it.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH RISOTTO AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Roasted Chicken with Risotto and Caramelized Onions image

Moist roasted chicken gets the royal treatment with caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar and creamy risotto. You may choose to roast your own chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. A little grated cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano before serving is also a nice touch.

Provided by Michele O'Sullivan

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, chopped
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 ½ cups uncooked Arborio rice
¼ cup dry white wine
7 cups hot chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions and saute for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onions are a dark golden brown. Remove from heat, stir in the balsamic vinegar and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the rice and mix well. Let heat for about 2 minutes, then pour in the wine. Reduce heat to medium low and start pouring in the broth about 1 cup at a time. Add more broth as each cup is absorbed. Continue in this manner until all the broth is absorbed and the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the reserved onion mixture and allow to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish each serving with fresh thyme.

Crispy Salt Crusted Chicken With Roasted Shallots image

I found this yummy sounding recipe while searching for Australian recipes. This is a recipe from Chef Ben O'Donoghue, as seen in the LifeStyle FOOD Channel production "The Best In Australia". Time doesn't include the 2-3 hours for the salting method. Times and servings are just a estimate as it isn't listed in the recipe. The baking time will vary with the size of the thighs.

MME. LASCOURREGES'S CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS



Mme. Lascourreges's Chicken with Shallots image

Provided by Susan Herrmann Loomis

Categories     Chicken     Onion     Poultry     Roast     Fall     Healthy

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds; 1 3/4 to 2 kg), cut into 8 pieces (2 breast pieces, 2 wings with portion of breast attached, 2 legs, 2 thighs)
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 large shallots, peeled and minced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (loosely packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • 2. Drizzle the oil into an ovenproof baking dish that is large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Add the chicken pieces and turn them so they are thoroughly coated with oil. Drizzle the vinegar over the chicken, and sprinkle with the shallots. Turn the chicken so the shallots are evenly distributed over and under the pieces. With all the pieces skin side up, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Place the dish in the center of the oven and roast until the chicken begins to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, turn the chicken pieces over, and season with salt and pepper. Return the dish to the oven and continue roasting until the chicken is thoroughly cooked ( the juices should run clear when the flesh is pricked with the tip of a sharp knife), 17 to 20 minutes.
  • 4. Mince the parsley.
  • 5. Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle the parsley over it, and turn the pieces so the parsley is mixed evenly throughout. Let sit for 10 minutes, and then serve.

OLIVE OIL-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED CARROTS



Olive Oil-Roasted Chicken With Caramelized Carrots image

Think of this as a weeknight chicken confit, cooked low and slow in plenty of olive oil along with sweet carrots and tangy lemon slices. Save that leftover oil and use it to roast vegetables, fry eggs, jump-start a pasta sauce or, of course, cook more chicken.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds whole chicken legs, or bone-in, skin-on drumsticks or thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 bunch small, thin carrots, preferably with their green tops
2 heads garlic, left unpeeled and halved crosswise to expose the cloves
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1/2 bunch oregano, plus more leaves, for garnish
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • If the carrots have their green tops, trim them so that the stems are about 1/2- to 1-inch long. Save the greens for garnish or for using in salsa verde or pesto. (They can be treated like parsley.)
  • Arrange chicken in a large shallow baking dish or shallow braising pot - about 2 1/2 to 3 quarts - so that the legs are snug and lying flat. Scatter garlic head halves, carrots, lemon slices and oregano sprigs among the chicken pieces, nestling everything in there. (It's O.K. if the carrots stick out a bit.) Pour the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. (Yes, you're using all that oil! Don't worry, it can be repurposed; see Tip.) Season again with salt and pepper.
  • Place in the oven, uncovered, and roast until the chicken is so tender it nearly falls off the bone and the carrots and lemons are nicely caramelized, 55 to 65 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Divide chicken, vegetables and lemons among plates (or serve straight from the dish it was cooked in). Scatter with carrot tops, if you have them, and more oregano before eating. Reserve the leftover schmaltzy olive oil in the baking dish for another purpose.
