Green Goddess Chicken Thighs Recipes

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GREENS AND OLIVES

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.

GREEN GODDESS CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Place the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, milk, spinach, basil, parsley, garlic and lemon zest in a blender with a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
• For the salad: Add the chicken, grapes, walnuts, scallions and cucumber to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the basil and parsley. Serve on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich or wrap, or cover and chill until needed.

GREEN GODDESS ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a blender, purée buttermilk, basil, chives, garlic, anchovies (if using), scallion, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper until smooth.
• Put chicken halves in a bowl or large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and cover with three-quarters of the Green Goddess marinade. (Save the rest to serve as a sauce.) Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 500 degrees. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off as much liquid as possible, and lay the halves on a rimmed baking sheet. (Discard the used marinade.) Pat chicken tops dry with paper towels and drizzle with oil. Roast until cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, with some of the reserved sauce if you like.

GREEN GODDESS CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make green goddess dressing: process herbs, mayonnaise, buttermilk or milk, green onion, anchovies, lemon juice, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, honey, and hot sauce, if using, in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Make the marinade: transfer ¾ cup of the green goddess dressing to an air-tight container or resealable plastic bag large enough to hold the chicken.
• Add chicken thighs to the marinade, tossing them to coat all sides. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put the remaining green goddess dressing in the fridge to chill and thicken up for serving.
• When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
• Remove excess marinade from chicken thighs and lay them in the air fryer basket, skin side down.
• Cook until the chicken thighs are brown and crispy and reach an internal temp of 165°F (75°C), about 17 to 22 minutes, depending on the size. Flip halfway through cooking.
• Serve chicken with reserved green goddess dressing. Thin out the dressing with buttermilk or milk, if desired.
