Fried Chicken With Creamed Corn And Quick Collard Greens Recipes

PAN-FRIED COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• Add bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from the pan and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.
• Add the onion to the bacon grease and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds or so, until fragrant. Add the greens, honey, hot sauce and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Cook the greens, stirring occasionally, until greens are nice and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper if necessary. Serve hot with bacon on top.

CAJUN CHICKEN WITH COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat; season the chicken with the blackening seasoning or Cajun seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per side; transfer to serving plates.
• Meanwhile, heat a second skillet, over medium high heat with 3 tablespoons oil; add garlic, red pepper, cook, tossing frequently, until softened about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the collards, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing, until collards are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in black eyed peas and cook until heated through, 1 or 2 minutes more.

QUICK-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GREENS

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring just a few times, until translucent and browned, 6 to 9 minutes. Add the peppers, tomato paste, brown sugar and cumin, and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the broth, chicken, greens and pickled-pepper brine. Season with salt and stir to combine. Cover the pot, keep on medium-high and bring to a simmer. Uncover, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered until the chicken is cooked through and the greens are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken right in the pot into pieces, then stir to combine. Taste and adjust with salt, sugar (if it's too tangy or spicy) and brine (if it's too sweet or flat). Eat with starch of choice.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the chicken with the soy sauce, the sesame oil and the wine. Put the peanut oil into a deep skillet or wok, preferably nonstick, and turn heat to high. Drain chicken. When oil is hot, add chicken to skillet, and cook, undisturbed, until bottom browns, about 2 minutes. Stir once or twice, and cook 2 minutes longer. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
• Add the garlic, the ginger and the chili to the skillet, and stir; 15 seconds later, add the creamed corn and the corn kernels. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 3 or 4 minutes. Garnish, and serve over white rice.
