Sticky Brick Chicken With Creamed Corn And Crispy Kale Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN UNDER A BRICK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Use kitchen shears to cut down both sides of the backbone. Remove backbone and discard. Cut through breastbone from the inside until chicken folds out like a book and lays flat.
• Season chicken all over with salt and black pepper, and sprinkle herbes de Provence on the inside. Let chicken sit for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature; pat dry with paper towels. Brush skin-side of chicken with oil and season again with salt and black pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Place chicken, skin-side down, in hot skillet and place bricks evenly on top to weigh down chicken.
• Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove bricks, turn chicken over, and continue roasting until juices run clear and meat is no longer pink at the bone, 5 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Preheat the oven's broiler and broil the chicken until skin is crispy and golden, 1 to 3 minutes.

CREAMY KALE & CHICKEN TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the kale for 4 mins until tender. Rinse under cold water, squeeze dry with your hands, then whizz in a food processor with the lemon zest, mascarpone, garlic and seasoning.
• Cut a long slit in the side of each chicken breast, open it up and stuff with the creamy kale. Gently stretch each rasher of bacon and wrap three around each chicken breast.
• Toss the vegetables with the oil on a baking tray. Nestle the chicken on top, season and bake for 20-25 mins (depending on the size of the breasts), giving the veg a stir halfway through. Check the chicken is cooked, then place on a plate to rest, covered with foil. Cook the veg for 10 mins more, then serve with the chicken and lemon wedges.

CHICKEN AND KALE STEW RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the bouquet garni: Stack the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, and sage on top of one another. Tie a 3-inch (7 cm) length of butcher's twine around the center of herbs and secure with a knot. Set aside.
• Season the chicken all over with about 1 teaspoon salt.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil if the pot looks dry. Melt the butter until just bubbling. Add the onion and carrots and season with ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and carrot is beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, if using. Add the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are well-coated and the flour is lightly toasted, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken stock, bouquet garni, 2-3 teaspoons of salt, and the potatoes. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Return the chicken to the pot, along with the kale. Season the stew with more salt to taste and the black pepper. Cook until the chicken is warmed through and the kale is just wilted and tender, and the chicken is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
• Ladle the stew into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and more red pepper flakes. Serve warm.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY BAKED CEREAL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
• Place the cereal in a large plastic zipper bag and crush the cereal into crumbs. Add the garlic salt and seasoned salt; shake the mixture together in the bag to combine. Pour the cereal crumb mixture out into a shallow bowl.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk mixture, then into the crumb mixture, coating the chicken well with crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
