Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 small head cauliflower (preferably purple), trimmed and cut into small florets
1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 small skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (5 to 6 ounces each)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3 cloves garlic (1 grated, 2 thinly sliced)
Grated zest of 2 lemons, plus lemon wedges for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 10-ounce package frozen peas
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Toss the cauliflower and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl; arrange on one side of the prepared pan. Toss the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the coriander, paprika, grated garlic and half of the lemon zest in the same bowl; arrange skin-side up on the other side of the pan. Season the vegetables and chicken with salt and pepper. Roast until the vegetables are browned and the chicken is crisp and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, combine the peas, 1/4 cup water and the sliced garlic in a medium microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and poke a small hole in the plastic. Microwave until the peas are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and add the butter, mint and the remaining lemon zest; puree, adding more water if needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables, pea puree and lemon wedges.

BOBBY FLAY'S PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MINT SAUCE

Bobby Flay's Pan-Roasted Chicken With Mint Sauce image

Bobby Flay served a version of this chicken at Bolo, the elegant little jewel box of a restaurant he had on 22nd Street until 2007, when the building that housed it was sold. It came pan-roasted beneath a blanket of what Flay called Spanish spices, with a vibrant green mint sauce rich with chiles, honey, salt and mustard. The dish was one of the restaurant's best sellers. I ate it about 3,000 times there before getting the recipe and adapting it for those of us who cook at home. Of course you can make the exact same dish with chicken thighs if you want. But some will prefer the breast meat. Some always have.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh mint leaves
½ cup fresh parsley leaves
4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughlychopped
1 serrano chile, seeds removed androughly chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly groundblack pepper.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425. Rinse the chicken well, then dry it with paper towel. Season the chicken aggressively with salt. Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl, and rub the mixture all over the skin of the chicken breasts.
Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe sauté pan or skillet set over medium heat. When it is shimmering, put the breasts into the pan skin side down, and cook, unattended, until the skin is golden brown, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts over, and place the pan in the oven. Roast until the chicken is golden brown all over and the meat cooked entirely through, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter, and allow to rest.
Meanwhile, put the mint, parsley, garlic and serrano into a food processor, and pulse into a paste. Add the honey and mustard, and pulse again, until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture has become emulsified. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and if necessary, whisk in a few tablespoons of water to thin the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon some of the sauce over each chicken breast, and serve, with the remaining sauce on the side. Roasted potatoes with some thinly sliced lemons makes a fine accompaniment, along with sautéed greens.
