one pot wonder

A one-pot meal of chicken cooked with tender broccoli and rice.

Chicken and Rice with Broccoli Recipe

½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken legs

salt and black pepper

olive oil

large onion, chopped (1 ½ cups)

broccoli,

cumin

turmeric saffron threads

cayenne pepper (plus more to taste if desired)

chicken broth

½ cups basmati or long-grain white rice

peas

parsley leaves

Lemon or lime wedges,

Season chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Add chicken skin-side down and cook without moving until well browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and brown second side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, and add the onions, broccoli and a pinch of salt, stirring until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne and cook for until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer. Add the chicken stock to the pan and then add the rice and lay the chicken carefully on top. 

Bring the liquid to a boil and then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the rice and chicken are finished cooking, 15-20 minutes. Add the frozen peas during the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking. 

Remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon or lime wedges

Nutty and chewy, the Israeli couscous gets a little kick from the jalapeño. The whole dish is super simple to prepare and quite addictive. The key is to not overcook the scallops.

Seared Scallops with Israeli Couscous Recipe

¼ cups low-sodium canned or homemade chicken or vegetable broth

whole wheat Israeli couscous

ear corn, kernels removed

olive oil, divided

lemon juice lemon

Sun Gold or cherry tomatoes, halved

½ jalapeno, thinly sliced

½ cup picked cilantro leaves, roughly chopped

scallops

Add broth to a 12-inch skillet over high heat and bring to a boil. Add couscous and corn, season to taste with salt and pepper, stir to combine, and reduce heat to a bare simmer. Cover and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until the excess liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of oil and the lemon juice, cover, and cook for 1 more minute. 

Place the couscous in a serving bowl and combine with scallions, tomatoes, jalapeno, and cilantro. Set aside. 

Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and then season generously with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until barely smoking. Add the scallops and cook without moving until golden brown on first side, 2 to 3 minutes, flip, and cook until barely cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Place on top of the couscous mixture and serve immediately. 

Chicken scarpariello, the Italian-American dish of chicken braised with sausage and peppers in a sweet-and-sour sauce, is one of those perfect Tuesday-night meals. It's punchy, it's not for the timid, but it's ultimately very easy to make, requiring just a single sauté pan or Dutch oven, about 25 minutes on the stovetop, and a half hour in the oven.

Chicken Scarpariello (Braised Chicken With Sausage and Peppers) Recipe

(1.15kg) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (6 to 8 thighs)

(15 milliliters) vegetable oil

medium onion, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces; 170 grams)

red bell pepper, thinly sliced (about 6 ounces; 170 grams)

sage leaves

garlic,

(240 milliliters) dry white wine

(240 milliliters) homemade chicken stock

(28 grams) sugar

Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 4- to 5-quart straight-sided sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook, without moving, until well browned and crisp, about 8 minutes total, lowering heat if pan starts to smoke excessively. Flip chicken and brown lightly on second side, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a large plate and set aside.

Return skillet to heat without draining it and add sausage. Cook until well browned on first side, about 1 1/2 minutes, reducing heat if it starts smoking. Flip sausage and cook on second side until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes longer. Remove pan from heat, transfer sausage to a cutting board, and cut each link into 3 to 4 slices.

Return pan to heat, add onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until softened and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add sage and garlic, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add pickled cherry peppers and their liquid, stirring and scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Add wine and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and sugar and stir to combine. Return sausage to pan, toss to combine, then return chicken pieces to pan skin side up, nestling them down among sauce, vegetables, and sausage.

Transfer to oven and cook until chicken is crisp and tender, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately, spooning sauce, vegetables, and sausage around chicken pieces.

Add coconut milk, chicken stock, fish sauce, sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, chicken, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. 

Add onions back to pot and continue simmering, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Discard star anise pods and cinnamon stick. Spoon off any excess fat on the surface, if necessary. Stir in peanuts and lime juice and season to taste with salt, if needed.

A quick and hearty meal of salmon cooked with quinoa, arugula, and feta cheese. The trick is to sear the salmon skin first, then add it back to the pan at the very end just until barely cooked through.

(6-oz) skin-on salmon filets

canola, vegetable, olive oil

water chicken broth

pre-washed quinoa

In the same skillet, bring 2 cups of water to an active boil and generously season with salt. Add the quinoa and allow to cook for exactly 9 minutes. 

Lower the heat to medium-low, stir in the arugula, scallion, feta and place the salmon back on top, skin-side up, cover and cook until the salmon is barely cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Portion out the quinoa and salmon and drizzle with fresh lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.

Add corn, scallions, and jalapeño to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pour eggs into skillet and cook, stirring and scraping pan all over, until very loose curds form throughout, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook until eggs on bottom and edges are set, about 2 minutes. Top with remaining cheese, bacon, and a few jalapeño slices for decoration, if using.
