Spring Chicken With Carrots And Peas Recipes

ROASTED CARROTS AND PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat a rimmed baking sheet in a 450 degrees F oven. Quarter 1 1/2 pounds carrots lengthwise and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon each ground coriander and ground ginger, and salt to taste. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast 20 minutes; stir in 1 cup thawed frozen peas and roast 4 more minutes. Toss with chopped parsley and lime juice.

EASY ONE-SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Blot chicken thighs with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
• Add carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Nestle browned chicken thighs into the vegetables, pour wine and 2 tablespoons water over everything, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
• Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve any lumps. Add slurry to the drippings in the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over chicken pieces and vegetables and sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve.

PEAS AND CARROTS SPRING SALAD

• Combine greens and basil on a platter. Top with arrangement of shredded carrots and peas. Combine shallots and vinegar and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil to combine. Drizzle dressing evenly over the salad and season with salt and pepper. Serve with Ham Steaks.
• Heat a large skillet, with olive oil. Add the ham steaks and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN WITH PEAS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large high-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the chicken skin generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Season the underside with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed until the chicken easily releases from the pan and is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove the carrot tops, leaving about 1 inch of green stem attached to the carrots. Set aside the carrot tops. Cut the carrots into 2- to 3-inch pieces and set aside.
• Flip the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the carrots are softened and caramelized in places, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Return the chicken to the oven, then turn off the oven. The residual heat from the oven and the hot skillet will thaw and heat the peas.
• Put the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 12- to 14-cup food processor and pulse to chop the garlic into very fine pieces, 3 to 4 pulses. Add the carrot tops and pulse until very finely chopped, 6 to 8 pulses. While pulsing, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until combined. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Serve the chicken, peas and carrots with the carrot top gremolata.
