PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GRAPES AND OLIVES
Our chopped challenge this week was grapes. We really wanted to cook with them, but needed to figure out how to balance out their sweetness. The combo of grapes with chicken thighs and lots of salty ingredients hits the perfect salty/sweet note. Chopped Basket Ingredient: Grapes

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large, ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Transfer the browned chicken and any juices to a baking sheet or large plate.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, 1 cup of the grapes, the olives, capers, oregano, wine and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter. Add the chicken and any juices back to the skillet, skin-side-up. Sprinkle the remaining grapes around the chicken. Continue cooking over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the broiler.
- Place the skillet underneath the broiler to crisp the chicken skin, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- To serve, divide the warm couscous among 4 plates and top each plate with 2 of the chicken thighs and a large spoonful of the sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When oil begins to sizzle, place half the chicken in skillet, cooking about three minute per side, until browned. Remove first batch to a plate and do same for second half. Place all chicken in the skillet and arrange olives, shallot and grapes around it. Sprinkle rosemary on top.
- Place skillet in the pre-heated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes. Remove chicken from oven and place, along with all extra ingredients on a serving platter.
- Add the wine and chicken broth to the juices remaining in the skillet and simmer for about three minutes or until liquid reduced in half. Pour this sauce mixture over the chicken and enjoy.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cook the couscous as the label directs, omitting any oil or butter. Fluff with a fork and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, put the chicken and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the herbes de Provence, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the chicken skin-side up and roast until the chicken begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the grapes on top. Continue roasting until the chicken is golden brown and the grapes are soft, 15 to 20 more minutes. Divide the chicken, onion and grapes among plates and drizzle with the pan drippings. Serve with the couscous.
