Solar Braised Chicken With Butternut Squash And White Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the squash and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the turmeric, cinnamon stick and raisins and stir to coat the vegetables.
• Add the lemon zest and chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet and reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer; cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to plates. Stir the lemon juice into the broth and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the broth and vegetables over the chicken and top with cilantro.

Steps:

• Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Toss the chicken with the olive oil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Combine the liquid (wine or broth), garlic, squash, onion, tomatoes, and cooked beans in a large, lidded roasting pan. Set the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook in Sun Oven until the meat and vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

• Cut half the squash into 1-inch pieces and set aside. Cut remaining squash into 1/2-inch pieces and reserve, refrigerated, to make Butternut Squash Soup with Shrimp.
• In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper and, in two batches, cook, skin side down, until skin is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to a plate; pour off fat from pot.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil, reserved squash, and onion to pot and cook until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sage, flour, coriander, and nutmeg and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, 1 minute. Nestle chicken, skin side up, in squash mixture, add cranberries, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and squash is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
