SKILLET CHICKEN WITH RHUBARB



Skillet Chicken With Rhubarb image

In this savory skillet dinner, rhubarb, onions and garlic are simmered with white wine and butter into a rich sauce for browned chicken parts. I call for a whole, cut-up chicken here, so you'll have the different parts to choose from at the table. (Just be sure to watch the breasts carefully; they might finish cooking before the dark meat.) But you can use your favorite chicken part instead. Thighs and drumsticks work particularly well. This dish goes nicely with polenta, which also helps brighten the rather drab color of the brightly flavored sauce.

Pan Roasted Chicken with Rhubarb image

Sautéed with an aromatic blend of turmeric, cumin, garlic, onion, and ginger, rhubarb becomes a delicious, savory-leaning sauce. The mixture is then combined with a little broth and used as a simmer sauce for bonesless, skinless chicken breasts, imparting flavor to every bite.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves, patted dry (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced onions (from 1 large onion or 2 small)
2 tablespoons minced garlic (from 4 to 5 cloves)
4 teaspoons peeled minced ginger (from 2-inch piece)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
8 ounces rhubarb, halved if thick, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for serving
Cooked rice or flatbread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper and dust with flour, tapping off excess. Heat a large oven proof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Place chicken in skillet, skinned side down and cook until browned and easily releases from pan, about 4 minutes; flip and brown second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, garlic, and ginger to pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cumin, turmeric, and sugar and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in broth and rhubarb and bring to a boil on top of stove.
  • Nestle chicken back into pan. Transfer to oven and roast until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. If rhubarb is still underdone, remove chicken to a plate, tent with foil and return pan to oven until rhubarb is just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. (Be careful, it's easy to overcook rhubarb and you don't want it to completely fall apart.) Stir in cilantro, then return chicken to pan, turning to coat in sauce. Serve chicken and sauce over rice or with flatbread, sprinkled with more cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, bright red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the chicken and rhubarb from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by cooking a few tablespoons of oil in it over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the chicken and rhubarb, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Skillet chicken with rhubarb is best served immediately. If you need to store it, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Skillet chicken with rhubarb is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and tangy rhubarb and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give skillet chicken with rhubarb a try.
