Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, preferably organic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons ghee
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons sage, minced
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1 large bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 heaping cups)
1/2 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
One 8.8-ounce container mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup packed grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated with a rasp grater)
Ten 9-by-14-inch frozen phyllo sheets, thawed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat a large, shallow 10-inch cast-iron pan or Dutch oven up over medium-high heat.
  • While the pan heats up, cut the chicken thighs into 1 1/2-inch pieces and season liberally with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Once the pan is heated, add 2 tablespoons of the ghee and the chicken in a single layer, working in batches and adding more ghee, if needed. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping the chicken once halfway, until browned evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs to a plate (the chicken will not be cooked through).
  • Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion, garlic and sage and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the onions start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vermouth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the chard to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes. Next, add the sweet potato and stock. Stir together and season liberally with kosher salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the mascarpone and Parmesan. Return the chicken to the pan, stir then remove from the heat.
  • Place the phyllo sheets on a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out. Place 1 of the phyllo sheets on a clean work surface then brush or dab with some of the melted butter. Crumple the sheet up like a piece of paper and place on top of the chicken filling. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets until the entire surface of the filling is covered, overlapping the sheets, if necessary. Drizzle any remaining butter on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until bubbly and the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. If the filling under the crust looks too wet, cook on the stove over medium heat to reduce some of the liquid, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve the pot pie in the pan.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH SWISS CHARD



One-Pot Chicken and Rice with Swiss Chard image

To change up the flavors in this dish, try using parsnips in place of the carrots and an equal amount of spinach instead of the Swiss chard.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken leg quarters (about 2 pounds total), patted dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper

SWISS CHARD PHYLLO PIE



Swiss Chard Phyllo Pie image

This is kind of a fancy (French?) spin on the traditional spinach phyllo pie (spanikopita). I found the general recipe in the Whole Foods 'What's Cooking' flyer, but then altered it a bit. The original recipe calls for using a frozen puff pastry, but I used phyllo sheets instead, as that is easier (and cheaper, at least when you buy organic). The recipe calls for French Aged Comte' cheese. After tasting Comte' at the cheese counter, I didn't know of an alternative (it is really tasty!) so that's what I used. My hubby and I really enjoyed this one, although it was a bit sophisticated for my 8 y/o daughter. She enjoyed eating the crispy phyllo crust, but left about half of the filling on her plate.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches swiss chard
1 medium onion
1 large potato
1 cup french aged comte cheese (grated)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
1 tablespoon oregano
2 eggs
10 sheets phyllo dough (I used whole wheat)
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Grate the Comte cheese.
  • Peel and grate the potato.
  • Fill a large pot with water and put on high heat to boil.
  • Wash the Swiss chard and remove the stems.
  • Rip or chop up the chard.
  • Add the chard to the water for about 4 minutes (until tender).
  • Chop the onion while the chard cooks.
  • Drain the chard and run under cold water.
  • Squeeze out the excess water from the chard.
  • Mix chard, onion, potato, cheeses and oregano in a large bowl (optional: add salt and pepper to taste).
  • Add lightly beaten eggs (or use egg-beaters to avoid cholesterol like I do).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Lay out one phyllo dough sheet on a non-stick baking sheet, lightly brush with olive oil.
  • Place another phyllo sheet on top of the first, brush with oil.
  • Repeat until you have used about five sheets of phyllo dough.
  • Spoon the chard mixture onto the middle of the pile of phyllo sheets and spread it out (about 1/2 inch from edges).
  • Layer the last five phyllo dough sheets (one by one, brushing each with oil) over the chard mixture.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes (phyllo crust should be light brown on edges, and very flaky).
