Skillet Chicken with Leeks and Carrots image

Provided by Greg Lofts

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 bone-in, skin-on chicken-breast halves (about 2 pounds total), room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, cut into 1-inch rounds, then thoroughly washed and drained (2 cups)
5 medium carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 1 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
2 cups Italian-bread cubes (each about 1 inch square; from 1 small loaf)
2 cloves garlic, minced (2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves, sliced, plus more for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat chicken dry; season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet (such as cast iron) over medium-high. Add butter and 1 tablespoon oil. When butter melts and foam subsides, add chicken, skin-sides down. Cook, undisturbed, until skin lifts easily from skillet and forms a golden-brown crust, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, skin-sides up.
Add leeks, carrots, bread cubes, garlic, lemon zest, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet, stirring to evenly coat; season with salt and pepper. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet, arranging breasts on top of vegetables in a single layer, skin-sides up.
Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breasts reads 160°F, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely cover to keep warm. Stir mint into skillet; return to oven. Roast until vegetables are tender and golden and bread turns crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice into vegetable mixture and sprinkle with more mint leaves. Drizzle remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice over rested chicken. Carve chicken; serve with vegetable mixture.

Chicken, Spinach, and Potato Hash image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
6 teaspoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 large shallots, diced small
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound spinach, trimmed, washed, and coarsely chopped
Fresh lemon juice

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Roast until cooked through, 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, discard skin and bones; cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes; drain.
In a large skillet, heat remaining 4 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add potatoes and cook, stirring often, until browned, 7 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water, scraping up browned bits from pan with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring often, until potatoes are golden brown, 5 minutes. Add chicken and spinach and cook, stirring, until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
