SKILLET CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI WITH CHARRED SCALLION SALSA
Baked chicken breasts have a reputation for being dry, but pan-searing bone-in, skin-on breasts before roasting them helps them render their fat. It also forms a protective coating, develops a crisp, deep-golden skin and adds an extra layer of flavor. In this one-pot recipe, zucchini is tossed with the rendered chicken fat, and everything cooks together in the oven. Swap in any seasonal, quick-roasting vegetable for the zucchini, like cherry tomatoes or asparagus, but don't skip the charred scallion and jalapeño salsa. The zingy lime, grassy herbs and barely there brown sugar really make this dish sing. If cilantro isn't your thing, basil makes a fine replacement, or try a combination of the two. Alongside? Steamed rice would be nice.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Pat the chicken very dry and season generously all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat the canola or grapeseed oil in a 12-inch cast-iron pan or other large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Once the oil shimmers, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook undisturbed until skin turns golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add the zucchini and stir to coat in the chicken fat. Season with salt and pepper. Do your best to arrange the zucchini in an even layer (some overlap is O.K.). Place the chicken, skin side up, on top of the zucchini, transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa: In a medium bowl, stir together the lime juice and jalapeño; set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the scallions and cook, tossing frequently, until they begin to brown and char in spots, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to touch, finely chop the scallions and toss them with the lime mixture. Stir in the cilantro, olive oil and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Season to taste with salt.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a plate or a cutting board for about 5 minutes. If you want your zucchini more golden, pop it back in the oven while the chicken rests. Slice the chicken, if desired, and return it to the pan or serve it on the bone. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of the salsa over the chicken and season with flaky sea salt, if you'd like. Serve with the remaining salsa at the table.
ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHARRED SCALLION VINAIGRETTE
Chef Kaysen sears his lemon-herb marinated chicken in a pan to crisp up the skin before roasting it. Then he uses deeply charred scallions to flavor an Asian-influenced vinaigrette, which adds a rich complexity to the finished dish. This recipe is a big hit in the Kaysen household-and we're sure you'll love it, too.

Steps:
- Marinade: Peel and julienne the onion. Halve the lemon, then cut it into thin slices. Place zip-top bag into a large mixing bowl to keep contents from spilling, then place sliced onion and lemon into the bag. Pull rosemary and thyme leaves off their sprigs, roughly chop, and add to the bag. Add salt and oil, then mix to combine. Set aside.
- Break down the chicken: First, cut away the wings. Then cut the leg and thigh away from each side, being careful to include the "oysters" from the carcass. Separate the legs from thighs. Cut down either side of the backbone and remove the breasts. (Reserve remaining carcass for stock.) Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and massage the bag to coat. Remove as much air as you can from the bag before sealing it. Marinate at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (Chef Kaysen doesn't recommend marinating for longer than 2 hours, due to the highly acidic nature of this marinade.)
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Transfer all the contents of the zip-top bag into the mixing bowl. Line a clean surface with paper towels and pat chicken pieces dry. In a large sauté pan over high heat, add oil. When it's hot and shimmering, carefully add the chicken and some of the solids from the marinade to the pan. (Work in batches if necessary; do not crowd the pan.) Sear the chicken, about 2 minutes per side. Evenly distribute butter pieces in the pan. After the skin has begun to caramelize, transfer pan to the oven. Allow to roast for a total of 15-20 minutes, until the juices run clear (not pink) for both the white and dark meat. (Alternatively, chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F.) Meanwhile, make the Charred Scallion Vinaigrette.
- Charred Scallion Vinaigrette: In a sauté pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. When it's hot and shimmering, add the scallions; cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until the scallions are charred all over, 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and mince the ginger, followed by the garlic. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, the lemon juice, ginger and garlic. Whisk in remaining grapeseed oil (about 3 tablespoons). Remove charred scallions from the pan; chop and add to vinaigrette. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust with more lemon juice as needed. Set aside.
- Assembly: Remove chicken from oven. It's fully cooked when the meat has shrunk and pulls away from the bone (it's easy to tell on the leg). Arrange chicken pieces on a serving platter, along with plenty of roasted lemon and onion. Spoon Charred Scallion Vinaigrette over the top before serving.
CURRIED CHICKEN BREAST WITH ZUCCHINI
Here is an unbelievably easy though super flavorful weeknight dish that's bound to become a household favorite. Just toss boneless chicken breasts (chicken thighs would work here, too) and zucchini with curry powder, olive oil, salt and pepper then brown everything over medium heat in a skillet. Empty the pan, then make a quick sauce of shallots, chicken broth, heavy cream, olive oil and butter. Return the chicken and zucchini to the pot and warm through. That's it. Serve it over rice or couscous, or with a side of mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Put chicken pieces in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the oil, salt and pepper.
- Trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut it into 12 rounds, each about 1/2-inch thick. Add zucchini and curry powder to the chicken and blend well with the fingers to coat the pieces evenly.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken pieces in one layer. Scatter the zucchini rounds between the chicken pieces, preferably in one layer. Cook over moderately high heat until chicken pieces are nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and the zucchini rounds and cook over moderately low heat about 5 minutes.
- Transfer chicken pieces and zucchini rounds to a warm serving dish.
- Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the butter. Add shallots and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add broth and cook until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Add cream, stir and bring to a boil. Return chicken and zucchini pieces to the sauce and turn the pieces in the sauce. Cook about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a 12" (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring, until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion and zucchini are softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir 1 1/2 cups salsa, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Fold in the chicken and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Transfer enchilada filling to a medium bowl; set skillet aside (do not wipe out).
- Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high in 30-second bursts, flipping after each burst, until warmed, about 1 minute total. Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 10-12 minutes.
- Pour 1 cup salsa into reserved skillet. Working with one at a time, dip tortillas in salsa until coated on both sides; transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Divide enchilada filling among tortillas. Roll each tortilla around filling and place seam side down in skillet, arranging in a pinwheel formation.
- Heat enchiladas over medium-high. Pour remaining salsa over enchiladas, making sure each is coated. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with a lid or large baking sheet and cook until cheese is melted and enchiladas are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

CRISPY PAN-SEARED CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI WITH OLIVES AND LEMON
This recipe will amaze the zucchini-averse and anyone who thinks they've had zukes every which way. Crosshatching and salting the zucchini for 10 minutes before cooking removes excess moisture and lets the seasoning penetrate all the way through. Next, a hard sear in the fat left over from cooking chicken thighs keeps them crisp-tender. Douse them with a lemony garlic oil studded with olives and chiles, and you'll love zucchini forever.

Steps:
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using the tip of your knife, deeply score cut sides in a crosshatch pattern, spacing about 1/2" apart. Toss zucchini and 1 tsp. salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels (discard any liquid in bowl).
- Meanwhile, coat a large cast-iron skillet with 1 Tbsp oil. Season chicken on all sides with 1/4 tsp. pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and arrange in cold skillet (skin side down) in a single layer. Heat over medium and cook, undisturbed, until skin is deep golden brown and chicken is almost cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Turn chicken and continue to cook just until cooked through and lightly browned underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter (skin side up).
