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.

EASY PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS



Easy Pan-Roasted Chicken and Shallots image

Shallots are the perfect size for roasting whole with larger cuts of meat. When halved or quartered with chicken breasts, they make a quick weeknight dinner, complete with a pan sauce. If you have champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar on hand, add a splash to the sauce just before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bone-in chicken breasts, skin on, halved (about 10 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 medium shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise through the root (about 8 ounces)
4 medium shallots, peeled and quartered lengthwise through the root (about 8 ounces)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3/4 cup chicken stock, plus 1/2 cup more if needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Working quickly, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, swirling it around the pan. Add the chicken, skin side down. Add the shallots, cut side down and not overlapping. Cook until the chicken and shallots are browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the shallots and chicken, nestle in the rosemary sprigs, then carefully pour in the chicken stock.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the shallots are tender, 12 to 14 minutes, removing the smaller pieces of chicken first as they become cooked. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
  • Check the skillet with the shallots to make sure the stock has not evaporated; if less than a few tablespoons remain, add 1/2 cup more stock or water. Reduce the pan juices over medium heat until about 1/2 cup of liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with a wooden spoon to thicken the pan sauce until it coats the spoon. Remove the rosemary and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and scallions and the rest onto the plate.

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 image

Moist roasted chicken gets the royal treatment with caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar and creamy risotto.

RISHIA ZIMMERN'S CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS



Rishia Zimmern's Chicken With Shallots image

Here is a simple, excellent one-pot recipe for a midweek feast, full of rich flavor, with a sauce that you won't want to waste. It came to The Times in 2014 via the Twitter account of Andrew Zimmern, the chef and globe-trotting television personality who thrills to home cooking when he's not at work, which is not often. His then wife, Rishia Zimmern, adapted it from Martha Stewart, and he put it on the social network: "Brown 8 thighs, 3 C shallots. Add wine, tarragon, Dijon, sim 30 min covered. Remove lid, reduce. Add 2C cut cherry toms." We've been messing around with that ever since, and thrill to its flavor. Lay in bread to accompany it, and sop up the sauce.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     dinner

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 to 15 whole medium shallots, peeled
2 cups white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken thighs very dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the flour, salt and pepper over the chicken.
  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
  • Add the whole shallots to the pot and sauté them in the butter and chicken fat until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, stir with a large spoon, then add the mustard and tarragon, then the chicken thighs. Cover the pot, turn the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to the pot, stir lightly to combine and serve immediately.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS AND DATES



Pan-Roasted Chicken with Shallots and Dates image

Provided by Athena Calderone

Categories     Dinner     Chicken     Roast     Date     Shallot     White Wine     Garlic     Thyme     Olive     Winter

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 tablespoons (2 ounces/55 g) unsalted butter, divided
10 shallots, peeled, larger ones halved lengthwise
4 cloves garlic, smashed and roughly chopped
8 to 10 sprigs fresh thyme, divided
1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine
1 1/2 cups (360 ml) low-sodium chicken stock
8 Medjool dates, pitted and halved lengthwise
2/3 cup (105 g) green olives, smashed and pitted
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 lemon, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Set the chicken out at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Position a rack in the top third of your oven.
  • Place your largest cast-iron skillet in the oven for 15 minutes. Pat the chicken breasts dry and generously season them on all sides with salt and pepper. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place it on the stovetop. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the oil has a subtle ripple effect. You want the oil to be very hot. Working in two batches, cook the chicken, skin-side down, until the skin is crispy and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it onto a plate as you build your sauce. Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet and add the shallots. Cook the shallots undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes, until they are caramelized and golden. Add the garlic, a few thyme sprigs, 1 tablespoon of the butter, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the shallots and continue to cook until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce it by half. Add a few more thyme sprigs and the stock. Simmer the sauce over medium to low heat for 15 minutes, until reduced slightly. Check for seasoning and add the dates and olives to the sauce.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, skin-side up, and place it in the oven. Roast the chicken until it's just cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 160°F (70°C).
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate; set them aside and keep warm. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium to low heat and add the vinegar to the sauce. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the lemon juice. Check and adjust the seasoning. Return the chicken to the skillet and serve it immediately, garnished with the remaining thyme and the lemon zest.

Tips:

  • Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Trussing the chicken helps it cook evenly. You can also spatchcock the chicken for faster cooking and even browning.
  • Use a Cast-Iron Skillet: Cast-iron skillets retain heat well, resulting in evenly cooked chicken with a crispy skin. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use a heavy-bottomed skillet that's oven-safe.
  • Sear the Chicken: Sear the chicken skin-side down over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy. This helps lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Roast the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the chicken at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • Make the Caramelized Shallots: While the chicken roasts, caramelize the shallots in the same skillet. Use a combination of butter and olive oil for a rich flavor. Cook the shallots over medium heat until golden brown and slightly softened.
  • Deglaze the Skillet: After removing the chicken from the skillet, deglaze the skillet with white wine or chicken broth. This helps dissolve any browned bits and creates a flavorful sauce.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve the roast chicken with the caramelized shallots and any pan juices. Garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Skillet Roast Chicken with Caramelized Shallots is a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of crispy chicken skin, tender meat, and caramelized shallots creates a flavorful and satisfying meal. Whether you're a beginner cook or an experienced chef, this recipe is easy to follow and sure to impress your family and friends.
