SKILLET CHICKEN WITH SUNDRIED TOMATO AND CHICKPEAS



Skillet Chicken with Sundried Tomato and Chickpeas image

You need two skillets for this chicken dinner recipe-one to cook the thighs and one to put on top as a weight, which helps the meat stay moist and the skin turn crispy. Store-bought sundried-tomato pesto flavors the chicken and makes a brothy sauce for the chickpeas, while thinly sliced fennel serves as a crisp, fresh counterpoint.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thighs

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup sundried-tomato pesto
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced and thoroughly washed
2 cans (each 15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 head fennel, thinly sliced, fronds reserved

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper; toss with 2 tablespoons pesto. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add chicken in a single layer, skin-sides down; cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Top with a parchment round, then a skillet weighted with canned goods; press down firmly. Cook 5 minutes. Flip chicken; return parchment and weighted skillet to top. Cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest parts of chicken reads 165 degrees, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover.
  • Transfer all but 2 tablespoons pan juices to a bowl. Add leeks to skillet over medium heat, season with salt, and cook until tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
