SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, ARUGULA AND GARLIC YOGURT



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Potatoes, Arugula and Garlic Yogurt image

Your typical sheet-pan chicken recipe roasts everything together on a pan at once. This version pairs potatoes with the poultry, and tops everything off with fresh herbs and arugula, making it a true one-pan meal, salad included. A savory yogurt sauce adds a creamy touch, but it's optional if you're not a yogurt sauce fan. Feel free to double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd, though make sure to use two sheet pans so that everything is spread out in one layer, which is critical for browning.

ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Roasted Chicken and Potatoes image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1(3 to 4 pound) chicken, rinsed and patted dry
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl or mini prep, mix together the butter with the rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then rub the chicken all over with 3 tablespoons of the herbed butter. Cook's Note: Make sure chicken is dry. Slide some of the butter underneath the breast skin. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string.
  • In a small roasting pan, pour in the white wine and place the chicken breast side down. Roast for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, season the potatoes with salt, and pepper and drizzle with oil to coat. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Remove the chicken to a plate turning it breast-side up. Brush the rest of the herbed butter on top of the chicken. Add the potatoes to the bottom of the pan and place the chicken on top.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F, and return the chicken to the oven to finish roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the inner thigh, not touching the bone, reaches 160 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Once done, remove the chicken to a carving board and let rest 10 minutes before carving. Remove the potatoes to a serving bowl.
  • Return the roasting pan to the stovetop over high heat. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, scraping up the bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • To serve: Place slices of chicken on plate with potatoes and drizzle the pan sauce over both.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH BREAD AND ARUGULA SALAD



Roast Chicken With Bread and Arugula Salad image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (4- to 4 1/2-pound) whole chicken, preferably Bell & Evans
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 large garlic cloves, smashed flat
1 lemon, quartered
2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus extra for serving
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 (3/4-inch-thick) slices country bread
Good olive oil
Arugula Salad, recipe follows
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (3 scallions)
2 tablespoons dried currants
6 cups baby arugula, lightly packed (6 to 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a baking dish. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs without breaking the skin. Carefully slide the sprigs of thyme and the garlic under the skin. Put the lemon in the cavity. Tie the legs together and tuck the wings under the body. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sea salt and the pepper, cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean!) Place the bread in a medium (10-inch) cast-iron skillet in a single layer. Brush the chicken with olive oil and place it, breast side up, on top of the bread. Roast for 30 minutes, turn it over and roast for 15 minutes, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Wrap the skillet tightly with aluminum foil and allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for a full 30 minutes. (Don¿t worry; it will stay hot.) The bread will be almost burnt on the bottom and soft with the pan drippings on top.
  • Place the Arugula Salad in a very large, shallow serving platter. Put the chicken and the bread on a cutting board. Cut the bread into 1-inch squares and sprinkle them on the salad. Carve the chicken thickly (see note) and place it on top of the salad. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken, sprinkle it with sea salt, and serve warm.
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Whisk in the olive oil, stir in the scallions and currants, and set aside.
  • Place the arugula in a large bowl, add the vinaigrette, and toss well.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH PEARS AND ARUGULA



Sheet-Pan Roasted Chicken With Pears and Arugula image

In this hearty sheet-pan meal, thick pear wedges and chicken thighs seasoned with earthy, warming spices are roasted until soft and tender. During the last five minutes, crunchy sunflower seeds are scattered on the pan to sizzle in the pan juices, gaining a salty flavor that balances out the sweetness of the pears. A final topping of arugula soaks up any lingering juices and turns this into a full-on meal. Using firm, not-quite-ripe pears prevents them from becoming mushy and falling apart during the cooking process. Swap baby spinach for the arugula and sherry vinegar for the lemon juice, depending on what you have on hand. Serve any leftovers on a bed of fresh arugula, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger from a 2-inch piece
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 firm, semi-ripe Bartlett or Bosc pears, cored and quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
2 packed cups baby arugula
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees with a rack in the center.
  • Pat the chicken dry and trim excess fat and skin. Sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons salt, and season with pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the red-pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, ginger and oil. On a sheet pan, rub the chicken and pears all over with the mixture. Arrange chicken skin-side up and pears skin-side down. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees at the thickest part) and the pears are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, add the sunflower seeds to the pan. If there's a lot of fat when finished cooking, tilt the pan and spoon it off until there's a light coating on the surface of the pan.
  • Scatter the arugula on top, and squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon over the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with herbs, if using. Cut the remaining lemon half in quarters and serve.
