Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
16 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) sweet corn kernels, drained if canned, thawed if frozen
16 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) cooked lima beans, drained if canned, thawed if frozen
2 cups peeled pearl onions, thawed if frozen
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot, or to taste
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the crisp bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Season the chicken well with salt and pepper and sear in the same skillet, stirring, until the edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic and cook until softened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, lima beans, pearl onions, hot sauce, and cream, and cook until simmering. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper; stir in the reserved bacon and serve immediately.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces pepper-jack cheese, shredded
2 cups baby arugula, roughly chopped
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (12 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt

JAMES BEARD'S FARMER'S CHICKEN



James Beard's Farmer's Chicken image

This recipe from the eminent American food writer came to The Times through the chef Andrew Zimmern, who was a frequent guest at James Beard's legendary Sunday and holiday open houses when he was a child. The savory combination of red peppers, onions, raisins, almonds and green olives was new and exciting to him in the 1970s, and still tastes fresh today.

Categories     dinner, one pot, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (or a combination of thighs and drumsticks)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow or white onion, minced
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup mild green olives, such as manzanilla or Castelvetrano, pitted
1/2 cup dried currants or raisins
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon juice
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds (optional)
Cooked rice or orzo, or garlic-rubbed toast

Steps:

  • Pat chicken pieces dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a wide skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, brown the chicken, rotating as needed, until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan, at least 5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat to avoid scorching. As the pieces are browned, transfer them to a plate.
  • Once all the chicken is browned, add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown around the edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in the oregano and paprika.
  • Add the wine and simmer, stirring up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the pan is almost dry, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in stock, olives and currants, and bring to a simmer. Carefully return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Remove the lid, stir and let simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and the liquid reduces slightly, about 15 minutes. (The sauce will be quite loose.) Taste the sauce for salt and pepper. (Recipe can be made up to this point and refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
  • When ready to serve, heat through and stir in lemon zest and juice. Divide among shallow bowls and sprinkle with parsley and almonds (if using). Serve with rice, orzo or toast.
