Steps:

• For the chicken: Whisk together the olive brine, olive oil, oregano, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice and onions in a bowl. Put the chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Evenly coat, press out air, seal and place in a large bowl or dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• For the salsa verde: Combine the olive oil, olives, parsley, mint, garlic, lemon zest and juice, black pepper and chile pepper if using in a bowl. Let sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Prepare the grill for medium-low heat. Sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Place on the grill skin-side down and cook slowly until the fat is rendered and the skin begins to turn crispy and golden brown. Flip and continue grilling until the meat registers 155 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, about 20 minutes total for the smaller breast pieces and 30 for the drumsticks and thighs. Serve with the green olive salsa verde.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add chicken, onions and garlic; sprinkle with seasonings. Pour 1/2 cup water over top. Drizzle with oil. Cook, covered, on low until chicken and vegetables are tender, 5-6 hours., In a bowl, mix cornstarch and remaining water until smooth. Remove chicken and vegetables from slow cooker; keep warm. Strain cooking juices into a small saucepan; skim fat. Bring juices to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture; stir into juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with chicken and vegetables.

Steps:

• Make vinaigrette: Whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and shallot in a small bowl. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until emulsified. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Make chicken: Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a baking dish large enough to hold the pieces in a single layer.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinaigrette with the lemon zest, olives, garlic, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Pour the mixture over the chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat oven to 425°F Season the chicken with the pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Roast until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F Continue to roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes more.
• Spoon the olives and pan juices over the chicken and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Place chicken in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray; sprinkle with garlic and thyme. Mix dressing and orange zest until blended; pour over chicken. Cover with lid.
• Cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours (or on HIGH 3 to 3-1/2 hours).
• Stir in beans; cook, covered, on HIGH 15 to 25 min. or until heated through. Meanwhile, cook rice as directed on package, omitting salt.
• Spoon rice onto platter. Use slotted spoon to transfer chicken and beans to prepared platter; top with tomatoes and cheese. Discard liquid from slow cooker.

Steps:

• Put oil in deep skillet or casserole. Turn heat to medium-high and wait a minute, until oil is hot. Add chicken, skin-side down, and brown it well, rotating and turning pieces as necessary and sprinkling with salt and pepper as they cook; 10 to 15 minutes total. Turn heat to medium, remove chicken and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
• Add onion, ginger, cinnamon, garlic, cumin, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon or more of pepper and some salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until onion softens. Add stock and raise heat to medium-high; return chicken to pan, skin-side up. Cook at a lively simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add olives and continue to cook until chicken is done, another 10 to 15 minutes or so. Add lemon juice, then taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish and serve.

Steps:

• In a ziplock bag, add flour and chicken thigh fillets. Shake the bag until the chicken is well coated in the flour. Remove the chicken from bag and dust off extra flour.
• Coat a heated frypan with the oil spray. Add the chicken to the pan, and cook a couple of minuets each side until the fillets are golden. Remove and place in a reasonably deep oven proof baking dish.
• To the pan, add the chopped red onion and cook 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook 1 further minute. Add the stock and wine to the pan and cook until it starts bubbling. Remove from heat and pour the mixture over the chicken.
• Place the thyme, olives and sliced lemons over the chicken.
• Cover the oven dish with foil and bake in a moderate over for one hour.

Steps:

• Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge both sides of chicken pieces in flour.
• Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken. (If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce heat.) Cook, turning as needed, until chicken is browned on both sides, is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 4 or 5 minutes total on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and tent with foil.
• In the same pan, reduce heat to low and add thyme sprigs and cook until aromatic, 1 or 2 minutes. Increase heat to high; pour in Swanson® Chicken Stock and wine. Stir up browned bits to deglaze the pan. Add the chicken bouillon granules and mix well. Reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce reduces and is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
• Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Add to the pan any accumulated juices from the tented chicken plate. Finish the sauce by whisking in the cold butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon sauce over chicken before serving.

Steps:

• Remove stems from cilantro and tie together; save leaves for sauce.

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place tomatillos cut-side down and jalapeno onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with canola oil.

• Pour tomatillo sauce into a large pot and add shredded chicken, diced onion and garlic, and beans. Add reserved cooking liquid. Let simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Serve.
