Cheesy Roasted Garlic And Tomato Chicken Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub 1 teaspoon sea salt all over the chicken.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium/medium-high heat. Add olive oil, and once it's hot, add chicken skin-side down. Sear 3 - 4 minutes or until skin is deep golden. Flip, and sear 3 minutes more. Add garlic when there's 1 minute of cook time left. Remove from heat.
• In the same skillet, carefully arrange kale ribbons around pan, tucking them under the chicken, and then tuck tomatoes all over so they surround the chicken thighs. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake 30 - 40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the tomatoes are bubbling and jammy. Remove from oven and sprinkle chicken with fresh herbs.
• Place a generous dollop of buttery grits in a bowl, spoon chicken and tomatoes, and finish with several spoonfuls sauce and an herb sprig.

GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.
• Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.
