Best Skillet Mustard Chicken With Spinach And Carrots Recipes

EASY ONE-SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Blot chicken thighs with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
• Add carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Nestle browned chicken thighs into the vegetables, pour wine and 2 tablespoons water over everything, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
• Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve any lumps. Add slurry to the drippings in the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over chicken pieces and vegetables and sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve.

MUSTARDY CHICKEN WITH SPINACH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Stir together the mustard, oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Toss the chicken with the marinade to coat, then transfer the chicken to a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Roast, uncovered, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to serving plates. Add the spinach and butter to the hot baking dish, tossing with tongs to wilt the spinach and coat it with the pan drippings, about 2 minutes. Serve the spinach alongside the chicken.

MUSTARD HERB CHICKEN CUTLETS AND GARLIC SPINACH

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have 8 thinner chicken breast cutlets. Sprinkle both sides of each cutlet with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add half the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the cutlets to a plate and set aside. Cook the remaining cutlets in the same manner.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the skillet and stir until golden brown, about 1 minute. Carefully pour in the wine and allow it to simmer and reduce by half, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Stir in the mustard, followed by the chicken broth. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the pan sauce with salt and pepper. Add the herbs and stir.
• Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, turning them in the sauce to coat and to rewarm them. Serve on top of the Garlic Spinach. Spoon more sauce from the skillet over them and garnish each plate with more fresh herbs.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the garlic and give it a quick stir. Add the spinach and let it cook down, turning often to bring the wilted pieces to the top, until softened, a minute or two.
• Cook until completely wilted, a minute or two more, then season the spinach with salt and pepper, as well as the lemon juice. Toss to evenly combine everything.

CRISPY MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, pulse bread until coarse crumbs form.
• In a shallow bowl, combine mustard, lime juice, and garlic. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip chicken legs (not breast) in mustard mixture, then roll in crumbs, patting to coat. Place legs and breast on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Check chicken breast after 20 minutes; remove when done. Roast legs another 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through.
• While chicken is roasting, toss carrots with remaining tablespoon of oil in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Season with salt and pepper. Place on separate rack in oven, and roast 10 minutes. Add scallions to carrots, and roast until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Serve legs and vegetables together; reserve breast for another day.

STIR FRIED CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND SPINACH RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar or honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly crisp. Add the chicken all in 1 layer, and allow to sear on one side for 1 minute. Once seared, stir-fry the chicken for a few seconds, and then add the carrot noodles. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, and add an additional tablespoon of soy sauce, along with the scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add the baby spinach. Stir in the spinach until it's just wilted (it should only take a few seconds). Serve, and top with more chopped scallions if desired!
