Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 leeks, white and light-green parts only, cut into 1/2-inch rounds, washed well
1 pound baby yellow potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 1/2 pounds total)
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted and crushed
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed (about 6 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack 8 inches from heating element. Combine leeks, potatoes, broth, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Broil, stirring once halfway through, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rub chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with coriander, salt, and pepper, then place, skin-side down, atop leeks and potatoes. Broil 8 minutes. Flip chicken; scatter lemon wedges around it. Broil until a thermometer inserted into thickest parts of thighs (avoiding bones) registers 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes more. Transfer chicken to serving plates. Stir spinach into leek-potato mixture until wilted. Serve chicken with vegetables, lemon wedges, and pan juices.

SKILLET CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time P15D

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb small red potato, halved
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets, trimmed
table salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh sage leaf, chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Toss potatoes, and 1 tablespoons oil in microwave safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until tender, 4-5 minutes, tossing potatoes halfway through cooking.
  • Place flour in shallow dish. Season chicken with salt and pepper, dredge in flour, and shake to remove excess. Melt 1 tablespoons butter with remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, cook chicken until browned on both sides, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate, leaving fat in skillet, and cover chicken with foil.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add potatoes, cut side down, and cook until browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to platter. Add broth, sage and lemon juice and, using wooden spoon, scrape browned bits from skillet. Return chicken and accumulated juices to pan and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter with potatoes. Whisk remaining tablespoon butter into sauce, season with salt and pepper, and pour over chicken and potatoes. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help prevent the chicken and potatoes from sticking and will give them a nice browned crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much chicken and potatoes to the skillet, they will not cook evenly and will end up steamed instead of browned.
  • Cook the chicken and potatoes in batches if necessary: If you have a large amount of chicken and potatoes to cook, you may need to cook them in batches. Just be sure to adjust the cooking times accordingly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the skillet.
  • Season the chicken and potatoes generously: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings. This will help to bring out the flavor of the dish.

Conclusion:

Skillet chicken and potatoes is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
