ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange carrots, garlic, and onion around chicken; season chicken and vegetables generously with salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes.

RUSTIC CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the flavored oil in a cold skillet.
• Cook on medium heat until the garlic and shallots are golden brown. Strain.
• Reserve the flavored oil and use for salad dressing, or to cook other dishes. It has such an amazing, in depth flavor.
• Wipe out the skillet, you'll use it to cook the rest of the meal.
• Prepare the chicken thighs. I cut out all the fat from the chicken thighs. Cover with plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat 2 Tablespoons of the flavored oil, red wine vinegar and lemon juice in the same large skillet on medium high heat.
• Dredge the chicken in flour and place in the skillet.
• Cook until golden on both sides.
• Top with the onions, season with salt and pepper.
• Add the carrots on top of the onions and season with salt and pepper also.
• Pour in the chicken broth, until it barely covers the food.
• Cover and continue simmering for about 30 minutes until the carrots are tender. If you use regular baby carrots, you will need to cook it longer. I would just use regular carrots and cut them to the correct size or cut the baby carrots in half.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to your serving dish (I like serving this on top of rice).
• Meanwhile, take the remaining juices from the pan, strain them and make sure you have at least 1/2 a cup. Add more chicken broth if necessary.
• Return to the same skillet and add the cream cheese. Yep, we just made the whole meal in one skillet! I'm always up for less dishes to wash:). Melt the cream cheese in the broth, constantly whisking, to have a smooth consistency.
• Pour over the chicken and vegetables and garnish with minced parsley.

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.
