Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Cut the carrots on the bias into 2-inch-long pieces, halving lengthwise any that are thicker than 1/2 inch in diameter. Toss the carrots, onions and 5 of the garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated, then spread on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Using kitchen shears, cut along each side of the chicken's backbone, removing the backbone completely, then discard or save for another use (such as making broth).
- Turn the chicken over, breast-side up. Using both hands, press down on the breasts to flatten the chicken. Rub all sides with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few good grinds pepper. Place the chicken breast-side up on top of the vegetables in the center of the baking sheet.
- Bake until the chicken is golden brown and the thigh registers about 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F and continue to cook until the chicken skin is deep golden brown and the thigh registers 165 degrees F on the thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest.
- Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the rice, stir to combine and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water, about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
- While the rice and chicken are cooking, finely grate the zest from half the lemon. Cut the lemon in half crosswise; juice half and cut the other half into wedges for serving. Place the lemon zest and juice, cilantro, parsley, remaining garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Drizzle in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil while pulsing to combine. Season the salsa verde with salt and pepper.
- Place the rice on one side of a serving platter and the roasted vegetables on the other. Top with the chicken. Drizzle the chicken and rice with any of the juices that remain in the pan. Serve with the salsa verde and lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add leeks and half of lemon zest, season with salt and pepper, and mix to coat leeks in butter. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are somewhat tender, about 5 minutes. Remove lid, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and just starting to take on color, about 3 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring often, 3 minutes, then add broth, scraping up any browned bits. Tuck short sides of each chicken thigh underneath so they are touching and nestle seam side down into rice mixture. Bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Cut remaining 1 Tbsp. butter into small pieces and scatter over mixture. Re-cover and let sit 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pulse anchovy, garlic, capers, a few pinches of red pepper flakes, and remaining lemon zest in a food processor until finely chopped. Add herbs; process until a paste forms. With motor running, gradually stream in oil until loosened to a thick sauce. Add half of lemon juice; season salsa verde with salt.
- Drizzle remaining lemon juice over chicken and rice. Serve with salsa verde.
SLOW COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN
This spicy, saucy chicken takes almost no time to prep in the morning and only 5 minutes to finish before eating. At its simplest, the recipe is a meal-in-a-bowl stew, and the toppings are key to making it feel special. You could serve the chicken over rice or a whole grain, or use it as a taco or enchilada filling (use a slotted spoon to serve the chicken, if it is very saucy). You can also add 1 cup of frozen or fresh corn, or a drained 15-ounce can of black beans or pinto beans; just add them at the end along with the fresh cilantro and scallions. The level of heat in jarred salsas can vary, so taste yours first to ensure it is to your liking. If you want more spice, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in, or use hot canned green chiles instead of mild ones.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken thighs, salsa verde, green chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Stir to evenly combine. (Don't add salt now; jarred salsas are often high in sodium.) Cook on low until the chicken is tender and the flavors are blended, 5 to 6 hours. (If you will be away for 8 hours or more, set the cook time for 4 hours on low and set the slow cooker auto-switch to warm for the remaining time.)
- Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. With the heat on low, add the scallions and cilantro, and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Serve with rice or in tortillas, if desired, with accompaniments.
