Chicken With Chickpeas And Olives Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN LEGS WITH CHICKPEAS, OLIVES, AND GREENS

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium heat, toast coriander seeds, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle and let cool completely, then grind.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Season chicken generously with salt; let stand. Meanwhile, zest orange. In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons orange zest with Aleppo pepper, thyme, coriander, and 1 tablespoon oil.
• Rub spice mixture all over chicken; let stand at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days. Slice orange in half lengthwise, then cut one half crosswise into very thin slices and scatter in the bottom of a roasting pan, along with chickpeas and shallots. Squeeze juice of remaining orange half over chickpea mixture; toss with remaining 7 tablespoons oil. Season with salt.
• Place chicken in pan, skin-sides up; drizzle with oil. Roast until chicken is golden and very tender, and chickpeas and shallots are beginning to caramelize, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove pan from oven and transfer chicken to a plate. Stir olives and greens into pan, then return chicken. Switch oven to broil and cook until chicken is golden brown and greens are just wilted, about 1 minute more. Serve.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH CHICKPEAS, CUMIN AND TURMERIC

Steps:

• Season chicken parts with salt and pepper.
• Combine 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. (It should be on the salty side, as this is a marinade.) Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let sit at least 30 minutes at room temperature, and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Place oven rack on the top third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
• Combine chickpeas, fennel seed, cumin, remaining teaspoon of turmeric and half the red onion slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Move chickpeas to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Scrape any excess marinade off the chicken, and place the chicken parts in the center. Place baking sheet in oven and bake, tossing chickpeas occasionally, until the skin of the chicken is evenly browned and the chickpeas are golden and starting to crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss remaining onion slices with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Combine remaining yogurt with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Once chicken is ready, scatter with lemony onions and mint or cilantro. Serve with seasoned yogurt alongside as a sauce.

ITALIAN CHICKEN AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with the rosemary on both sides; cook the chicken in the hot oil until browned evenly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into the skillet. Cook and stir the garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, sugar, bay leaf, and red pepper flakes to the skillet; stir. Return the chicken to the skillet; cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Stir the garbanzo beans into the skillet; continue cooking until the beans are heated, 2 to 3 minutes more.
