Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (6 or 7 thighs)
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
3 medium carrots (about 6 ounces)
4 tablespoons/60 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1 sprig fresh oregano, marjoram or rosemary
2/3 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup good dry white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5 ounces baby spinach
1 cup chopped fresh dill
Fresh lemon juice, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees and position a rack in the center. In a small bowl, stir together garlic, salt, coriander and pepper. Rub all over chicken, then set aside to rest at room temperature while you prepare vegetables.
Thinly slice the scallions. Peel carrots if you like, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup).
Heat a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over high. When hot, add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, place chicken skin-side down in skillet. Cook, without moving, until skin has browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken, skin-side up, to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium-high and stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, along with scallions, oregano sprig and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened and lightly browned, 3 minutes, then stir in stock, wine and carrots. Bring liquid to a simmer. Cover pan and cook, 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush the chicken all over with the mustard. Nestle chicken into skillet skin-side up.
Transfer skillet to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove pan from oven and transfer chicken to a plate.
If pan juices are watery, bring to a simmer over high heat and cook until thickened. Pluck out the oregano sprig and discard. Stir spinach, dill and a pinch of salt into pan, tossing to coat with pan juices and wilt greens. Spoon spinach, carrots, and pan juices over the chicken, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons good olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup Dijon mustard, such as Grey Poupon
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken, cut in eighths

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the garlic, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the garlic is finely minced. Add the panko, lemon zest, olive oil, and butter and pulse a few times to moisten the bread flakes. Pour the mixture onto a large plate. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the mustard and wine.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle generously all over with salt and pepper. Dip each piece in the mustard mixture to coat on all sides, and then place skin-side down only into the crumb mixture, pressing gently to make the crumbs adhere. Place the chicken on a sheet pan crumb-side up. Press the remaining crumbs on the chicken pieces.
Bake the chicken for 40 minutes. Raise the heat to 400 degrees F and bake for another 10 minutes, until the crumbs are browned and the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
