Roasted Split Chicken With Dill Salsa Verde Recipes

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Lay tomatillos, Anaheim peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, and garlic on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven until tomatillos release their juices, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove tomatillos and garlic from the baking sheet; flip Anaheim peppers, jalapeno peppers, and onions and return to the oven. Continue to broil until peppers are blackened, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool until safe to handle, about 5 minutes.
• Peel away blackened parts from vegetables without taking off too much flesh. Transfer tomatillos, Anaheim peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor and pulse until well combined and chopped. Refrigerate salsa until cold, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• A day before cooking, rinse the chicken inside and out under cold water and pat dry. Salt liberally, cover and refrigerate.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lift the skin off each chicken breast and wedge 3 lemon slices and 1 bay leaf between the skin of each breast. Put the garlic, onion, thyme and remaining lemon slices in the cavity of the chicken. Rub the entire chicken liberally with olive oil. Put the chicken in an ovenproof saute pan or roasting pan breast-side up, slide it into the oven and roast until the thigh reaches 160 degrees F. or until the cavity juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, in a medium bowl, dress the arugula with the red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces, drizzle with the Salsa Verde and serve with the arugula salad.
• Salsa Verde: Combine the extra-virgin olive oil, parsley, capers, mint, red pepper flakes, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice, jalapeno and shallots in a bowl and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes before serving. If planning to serve after more than 1 hour, add the lemon juice at the last minute to keep the color vibrant.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 of the onion and 1/2 of the poblano pepper; cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with water.
• Add chicken, 1/4 jar of salsa verde, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon chile-lime seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken and shred. Add back to the pot with remaining onion, poblano pepper, salsa verde, cumin, and chile-lime seasoning. Add cannellini beans, green chiles, and cilantro. Simmer for 1 hour.
• Add frozen corn and sour cream; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
