TANGY CHERRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat with the 3 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Season chicken liberally with half of the thyme, salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet. Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
• In the bottom of a medium sauce pot, heat and toast pine nuts over moderate heat and remove. Add 2 cups stock and 1 tablespoon butter to the pot and bring to a boil.
• Return the chicken skillet to the burner over medium-high heat, add 1 turn of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, add the onion, celery, crushed red pepper flakes, nutmeg, salt and pepper, cook for 3 to 4 or until the celery and onions are tender. Add the white wine, and cook until the pan is almost dry, 1 minute. Add 2 cups chicken stock, dried cherries and continue to cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or until there is only about 1/2 cup of liquid left in the pan. Turn the heat off the under the pan. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons cold butter in small pieces and whisk until it has completely melted.
• In a medium saucepan bring the remaining 1 cup chicken stock to a boil, add couscous, allspice, cinnamon and a little salt. Cover pot and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Drizzle honey over the couscous and add the pine nuts, scallions and parsley. Toss and fluff with a fork to combine.
• Serve the chicken whole or sliced with cherry sauce poured over it and couscous alongside. Dark seared greens or simple salad complete the meal.

CAN O' BEER CHICKEN (RACHAEL RAY)

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water over high heat and bring up to a boil. Once boiling, add some salt and cook pierogies according to package directions. Just before draining, remove and reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain and reserve the pierogies.
• Once you have the water on for the pierogies, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil. While the skillet is heating up and the butter melting, combine the flour and paprika in a large dish. Season the chunks of chicken with salt and pepper, dredge them in the flour-paprika mixture and shake off any excess.
• Add the chicken pieces to the hot skillet and spread them out in an even layer. Cook for 3 minutes without moving them around so they brown well on one side. Flip the pieces over and continue to brown for another 3 minutes. Remove the browned chicken to a plate and reserve.
• Add the cabbage, celery, carrots, onion, bay leaf and some salt and pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring every now and then for 8-10 minutes, until the veggies get tender. Add the chicken back to the skillet, the pickle juice and the can o' beer. Turn the heat up to high, bring up to a bubble and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until the liquid reduces by about half.
• Once everything is simmering away, place a second skillet (or the same pot you cooked the pierogies in) over medium heat. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and continue to cook until it starts to smell nutty and is lightly brown in color. Add the reserved cooking water and mustard, and stir to combine. Add the drained pierogies, toss to coat and heat through.
• To serve, divide the chicken and veggies among 4 shallow serving bowls. Top with some of the brown butter and mustard pierogies, and garnish each dish with some chopped dill and parsley.
