BAKED CHICKEN WITH WHITE BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet.
• While bacon is browning, pat chicken dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Brown chicken in fat in skillet over moderately high heat, turning over once, about 8 minutes total, then transfer chicken with tongs to paper towels to drain.
• Pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat from skillet and reduce heat to moderate. Cook onions in skillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir tomatoes and juice into onions and boil, uncovered, 3 minutes, to concentrate juices slightly. Stir in bacon and beans and bring to a simmer. Nestle chicken, skin side up, in beans and bake, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

CHICKEN, RICE & CABBAGE FOR THE FRUGAL AND TIME CRUNCHED FOL

Steps:

• Place a little oil in a fryer pan or something similar. Season and fry your chicken. Once you flip it to the other side, place 1 cup of water or broth in pan, steam/poach the chicken with the lid on. It will come out tender and juicy.
• While the chicken is cooking, dice your onions.
• Slice the cabbage in half, then cut each half into thin strips.
• Remove the chicken from the pan when done, cut. I used kitchen shears and tongs. Then I can effectively cut a plate of chicken while it is hot and save my fingers. Reserve the liquid from the chicken a measuring cup.
• Add a small bit more oil to the pan, enough to get the onions sizzling. Saute until translucent. They will get a lot of flavor from the chicken renderings!
• Add the cabbage. Mix in well, and let the cabbage cook down a bit. Adding a touch of salt will help the cabbage wilt.
• Add back in, the chicken.
• Add the julienne carrots and dry rice.
• Add the full 4 1/2 cups of water or chicken broth. Mix well and tap or pat everything down flat with your spoon.
• Season appropriately with salt and pepper (if needed). You'll need more if you don't use chicken stock -- less if you do.
• Place the lid on top and cook until the rice is done. Usually about 16-20 minutes on medium or medium low heat.

GARLIC OLIVE OIL PASTA WITH TOMATOES AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium size skillet add 1 can chicken broth, cubed raw chicken breast, and halved garlic. Cook on med low covered for 15 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken only and place on plate to cool.
• Meanwhile in a pot of boiling water, add 2 handfuls of salt and cook spaghetti. Drain. You can also half the amount of pasta and still use the same amount of the other ingredients and it turns out great if you are serving 2 people.
• In a large skillet over medium low heat saute garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes and tomatoes in olive oil about 10 to 15 minutes or until garlic is golden.
• Melt butter in a bowl in microwave, about 30 seconds.
• Toss pasta with chicken, butter, and garlic oil mixture.

ONE-DISH BAKED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Finely grate 1 garlic clove into a small bowl and toss with Aleppo-style pepper, soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. oil. Rub all over chicken, then season with salt and black pepper.
• Toss tomatoes, thyme, olives, 3 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 8 garlic cloves in a 3-qt. baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Arrange chicken on top of tomato mixture and roast until deeply browned and cooked through, 40-50 minutes. When chicken is about 5 minutes from being done, drizzle baguette with oil and season with salt. Place in oven directly on rack next to chicken and toast until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Slice each piece in half. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
• Carve chicken as desired and serve piled atop toast with tomato mixture and pan juices spooned over.

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH GARLICKY GREEN BEANS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Toss the green beans, garlic cloves and sage leaves with ¼ cup of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and arrange in an even layer on a sheet pan. Rub the chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt. Arrange among the green beans and season with black pepper; scoot any green beans out from under the chicken. (It's okay if the green beans are clumped together.) Roast, tossing the green beans occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the green beans are dark green and wrinkled, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter. Stir the vinegar into the green beans and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the green beans and garlic to the platter, scraping all the pan drippings and browned bits from the pan.
• Eat the chicken with the green beans, cloves of roasted garlic and a spoonful of the pan drippings. Optionally, if you'd like the chicken's skin to be more browned, return the chicken to the sheet pan and broil until golden.
