One Pan Chicken And Potatoes With Snap Peas Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F.
• In a 3 quart baking dish, toss potatoes with garlic, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking, trim excess skin from chicken thighs. Score the chicken 4 times (I like to make an XX pattern crossing in opposite directions) on the skin side, about 1/4-inch deep. Toss with remaining oil, salt, thyme, and pepper and set aside until potatoes are ready.
• Place seasoned thighs on top of potatoes in a single layer, skin-side up, and return to the oven for 40 minutes.
• Add drained peas, tucking them down around the chicken, and cook another 15-20 minutes, until warmed.
• Serve chicken with crusty bread for dunking into the pan juices, if desired.

EASY SPICED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together cumin, coriander, and cayenne, if using. In a medium pot, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water over high and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Return water to a boil, then add peas and cook just until tender, 3 minutes. Drain peas and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and cook, skin side down, until golden-brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip and transfer skillet to oven; roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove chicken from skillet and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Add potatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mix, reserving remaining for Moroccan Meatballs with Couscous and Roasted Carrots, and cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden in spots, 7 minutes. Stir in peas, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro; season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, place chicken on top of peas and potatoes and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

CHICKEN AND SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin side down, until deep golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip chicken and remove pan from heat. Tilt pan slightly and carefully remove fat with a spoon. Return pan to heat and add garlic, vinegar, sugar, and red-pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then transfer pan to oven. Bake 17 minutes. Add snap peas and half the basil and bake 5 minutes more. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining basil, and serve.
