BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GREENS AND OLIVES



Braised Chicken Thighs With Greens and Olives image

In this quick and comforting one-pot, stove-top meal, chicken thighs are browned, then simmered with sturdy greens. When they're in season, pleasantly bitter dandelion greens are lovely here. But any structured greens with a tendency to wilt when cooked, like escarole, kale and even Swiss chard, will work here, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Olives and raisins, tossed in at the very end, add some salty and sweet notes. Round out the meal with a loaf of crusty bread - it's perfect to sop up this brothy braise.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
1/2 red onion or 2 to 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
1 to 2 bunches sturdy greens, such as dandelion, escarole, Swiss chard or kale, roughly chopped (about 8 cups)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, plus more as needed
1/3 cup green olives, pitted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley (optional)
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken thighs well with salt and pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook undisturbed until nicely browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan and return to medium-low heat. Add red onion, and cook until it begins to soften, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook for 30 seconds more.
  • Add chopped greens to the pan and stir, tossing to coat in the residual chicken fat. It may seem like a lot of greens, but they will cook down. Add the chicken thighs and any juices that have accumulated back to the pan and lay them on top of the greens. Pour in enough of the chicken stock to come up to the chicken about halfway. Bring the chicken to a gentle simmer. Partly cover and allow the chicken to finish cooking through, about 20 minutes more.
  • Stir in olives and raisins and cook uncovered until they are warmed through, and the raisins are nicely plumped, about 1 minute more. Garnish with parsley, if using, and serve. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

BRAISED DUCK WITH GREEN OLIVES AND KUMQUATS



Braised Duck With Green Olives and Kumquats image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 5-pound duck, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 cup white wine
2 fresh bay leaves
3 to 4 cups chicken broth
12 kumquats
8 green Cerignola olives

Steps:

  • Season the duck with salt and pepper. Lightly coat the base of a large braising pan with olive oil. Lay the duck skin side down in the pan, place over medium-low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Strain off the fat and continue to cook over medium heat until the skin is dark and crisp, another 30 minutes. Transfer the duck to a plate.
  • Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan; add the onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion wilts. Add the wine and reduce over high heat until syrupy; add the bay leaves. Return the duck to the pan, skin side up, then pour in enough broth to cover it by two-thirds. Tuck the kumquats and olives into the broth, cover and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Let the duck cool in the broth, then remove the duck, kumquats, olives, onions and bay leaves and set aside. Skim the fat from the broth, then reheat the broth, reducing by half. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the duck and its accompaniments to the pan to warm through. Place a piece of duck on a plate, topped with olives, kumquats, onions and sauce.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH CUMQUATS AND GREEN OLIVES



Braised Chicken With Cumquats and Green Olives image

A Jeremy Vincent recipe. The cumquats give this dish a type of sweet and sour taste. I think this could even be made in a slow cooker. When picking the cumquats, use firm cumquats that are bright orange in colour; avoid those with a greenish tint. Serve over couscous or rice

Provided by Tisme

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 chicken drumsticks, skin on
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced into 1cm half-rounds
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup white wine
2 bay leaves
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup kumquat, halved and deseeded
1 cup green olives, deseeded

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry the chicken drumsticks. Season them with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium temperature. Add the chicken to the saucepan and cook, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until skin is evenly browned. Remove chicken and transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the saucepan and saute over medium heat until transparent. Add the wine and bay leaves and reduce over high heat until syrupy.
  • Return the chicken to the saucepan, add enough chicken stock to cover two-thirds of the chicken.
