Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large head escarole
4 cloves garlic
4 sprigs thyme
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons capers in brine, drained
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add skin-side down to the skillet. Cook until the skin browns, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the escarole, tear into pieces and rinse well. Thinly slice the garlic.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate. Discard all but 3 tablespoons fat from the skillet; return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Add half of the escarole and cook, tossing, until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the remaining escarole and cook, tossing, until wilted, 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Add the thyme and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the capers, butter and lemon juice. Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter is melted. Discard the thyme sprigs.
  • Divide the chicken thighs and escarole mixture among plates. Sprinkle with parsley.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it could have used less red pepper flakes, or perhaps a different type of spice. The chicken was also a bit dry. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe and would not recommend it.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken and escarole cook together in one skillet, making cleanup a breeze. The dish is also very flavorful, thanks to the addition of lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese.
