Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet until hot. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the skillet. Cook until well browned on all sides, and skin crisps up nicely, cooking in batches if necessary.
- While the chicken is cooking, add the chopped greens, onions, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to your slow cooker pot. Cover with the broth and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the seared chicken pieces to the slow cooker pot, and nestle them into the greens. Add enough broth or water to ensure that the chicken is covered at least halfway.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, until chicken is cooked through and greens are tender.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CHILI WITH GREENS AND BEANS
Beans, greens and chicken come together with tomatoes in a thick and creamy broth. This recipe, as with most chili recipes, doesn't need to be exact and can be altered to fit your taste or what you have on hand. The choice of greens is up to you - my first choice is kale, but you can use spinach, turnip greens, collards or a combination (my favorite)! If you use fresh greens, wash and chop them very fine before adding them to the slow cooker.

SIMPLE ROAST CHICKEN WITH GREENS (AND BONUS STOCK)
This thrifty dinner is a a crisp-skinned treat that leaves leftovers for lunch, and, if you like, a 2-quart container of golden broth. Reserve the bones, and let them simmer in salted water with a few simple aromatics, while you answer emails, check the news or drink some wine. The chicken here is first roasted in a skillet, so even the drippings don't go to waste, used to sauté some hearty greens as a side. But you can use any pan you like, as long as it has a rim to catch the juices. (This recipe is part of the From the Pantry series, started in the days after the coronavirus lockdown.)

Steps:
- Season your chicken all over (including the cavity) with about 2 teaspoons kosher salt and a lot of black pepper. If you like, add the grated garlic clove or two, some lemon zest, some spices like cumin or garam masala, or chopped thyme or rosemary.
- If time permits, let the chicken rest uncovered in the fridge for a few hours to dry out the skin. Stuff the woody herbs, if using, in the cavity either before or after resting.
- When ready to roast, heat the oven to 425 degrees, and, at the same time, heat a skillet on your stovetop for a few minutes. Coat the pan with a little oil or butter, and add the bird so it's lying on its back. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, then move it to the oven.
- Roast the bird until it's burnished all over and the wing tips - if your chicken still has them attached - are a little singed, about 45 minutes for a small bird, and up to 75 minutes for a larger bird. The juices should run clear if you prick the thigh with a fork. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh should read 165 degrees.) Move the bird to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Return the same pan to the stove and set it over medium heat until the drippings sizzle. Add the leeks and garlic and sauté until tender and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the kale and a splash of water and cook until the leaves are very tender and the water evaporates. If the kale is still tough and the pan is dry, add another splash of water. Season with salt and serve with the chicken. Pick any remaining meat off the carcass and save it for another meal.
- Make the optional stock: Put the chicken bones in a medium pot. Add a teaspoon of salt and whatever aromatics you have around: an onion or other alliums, leftover leek tops, a carrot, a bay leaf, herbs or herb stems, peppercorns, a celery stalk or the tops.
- Cover with cold water and let it all simmer for 2 or 3 hours. Or use an electric pressure cooker and let it cook at high pressure for 1 hour, or a slow cooker for 3 to 6 hours. Strain it after it cools, if you like. Stock will keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.
SLOW-COOKER LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES AND POTATOES
Buttery olives, rich chicken, creamy potatoes in a luscious sauce brightened up with lemon and fresh herbs-this isn't just a tasty dinner, this recipe is also a lesson in great slow cooking. We say this because it uses several techniques to maximize flavor, while still delivering on the hands-off convenience that slow cookers promise. Here's what we mean: This recipe starts with browning the chicken on the stove-we know, we know, this doesn't seem very convenient, but bear with us-browning is a chemical reaction that creates flavor, and it can't happen inside a slow cooker, which cooks at too low a temperature for this process to occur. So yes, you have to wash a skillet, but it will pay off in terms of flavor-and the washing is actually made easy because of the deglazing step. But before we get to that, there are the onions. As long as the skillet is dirty, it makes sense to sauté the onions as well. Onions that go into the slow cooker raw can end up undercooked and acrid-tasting, so browning the onions in the chicken fat left behind in your skillet is setting you up for success. Adding some broth, after you've cooked and removed the onions, will allow you to scrape up the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet-and those little bits are cooking gold. Adding the deglazing liquid to the slow cooker means all the complex flavor you've developed through the simple act of browning will infuse the finished dish. And like we said, washing your skillet is a breeze after deglazing because you've already gotten rid of the sticky bits without any scrubbing. With such a flavorful start, your dish only needs low heat and time to cook up into something truly excellent and absolutely impressive.
