Panzanella With Chicken Crisp Chicken Skin And Capers Recipes

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Using a large chef's knife, mince 1 of the smashed garlic cloves. Add a pinch of salt and using the flat side of your knife, smash into a fine paste. Add garlic paste to the tomatoes along with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons olive oil until the mixture is thickened. Remove the skin from the chicken, shred the meat and combine with the vinaigrette. Roughly chop the chicken skin and set aside.
• In a 10-inch skillet over high heat, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. When oil is shimmering, add the chicken skin and capers. Cook while stirring occasionally until the skin is crisp and the capers are beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
• In the same pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, bread cubes, the remaining smashed garlic clove, 1 sprig of fresh thyme or 1 sprig of fresh oregano and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook while stirring occasionally until toasted and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. When cool, discard the garlic and thyme and add bread cubes to the tomato mixture. Add the leaves of the remaining uncooked thyme or oregano, the shredded chicken and toss to combine. Transfer to a platter or individual plates and serve garnished with the capers, chicken skin, chopped basil, and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Toss garlic, bread, cheese, and tomatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub chicken with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on bread mixture, skin-sides up, along with thyme. Roast in lower third, flipping chicken and bread mixture once, 25 minutes. Meanwhile, remove ribs from kale; tear into 2-inch pieces. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Switch oven to broil; remove thyme from baking sheet. Transfer chicken to a plate. Scatter kale over bread mixture; arrange chicken on top. Broil until chicken skin is golden and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to serving plates; toss bread mixture and serve, with more cheese.

Steps:

• Combine onion and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add bread; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out skillet.
• Using a thin, sharp knife, cut bones and cartilage from chicken breasts. Pound chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4" thick; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in skillet over medium-high. Cook 1 chicken breast, skin side down, until golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until cooked through, about 1 minute more; second side will not brown. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with remaining cutlet and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (no need to wipe out skillet).
• Cut half of tomatoes in half. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add whole tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly blistered and starting to burst, about 5 minutes. Toss in sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Transfer to bowl with croutons. Add pickled onion with pickling liquid, halved tomatoes, parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss. Serve chicken with panzanella spooned over.
