Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 bunch leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the bacon in a large heavy-bottomed ovenproof skillet and cook over medium-high heat until some of the fat renders, about 5 minutes. Push the bacon to the side of the pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan and cook, turning, until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and leeks, then arrange the chicken on top of the bacon-leek mixture. Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is golden and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter.
  • Carefully return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the broth and half-and-half and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Bring to a boil and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spoon the leek mixture over the chicken. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes (not drained)
1 1/2 cups creamy tomato soup (canned or boxed)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
One 1-ounce package onion soup mix

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the rice, dried basil, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt (see Cook's Note) and a few grinds pepper in the baking dish. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato soup and stir to evenly disperse.
  • Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice mixture side-by-side in a single layer. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Sprinkle the onion soup mixture over the top of the entire dish, concentrating a little more heavily on the chicken (the onions will brown more evenly there and flavor the chicken).
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the chicken and rice are cooked through, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Let sit, still covered, for 15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid. Uncover and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for tomatoes that are deep red, plump, and have a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Use fresh leeks: Leeks add a mild oniony flavor to the dish. Trim the dark green tops and root ends, then wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can brown evenly. Otherwise, they will steam rather than sear.
  • Cook the chicken until golden brown: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine will add depth of flavor to the sauce. Choose a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Simmer the chicken until cooked through: Once the chicken is seared, add the wine, broth, and vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately: Tomato leek chicken is best served hot, with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Tomato leek chicken is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
