Braised Chicken Thighs With Tomatillos

Part stew, part braise, these chicken thighs become fall-apart tender in under an hour without the aid of any fancy appliances.

Chile-Butter Chicken With Vinegared Potatoes

A deceptively simple sheet-pan dinner, potatoes get tossed with tangy distilled white vinegar and topped with a chicken slathered in a garlicky chile butter (while you’re at it, let the potatoes have some, too).

Chicken and Escarole Salad With Anchovy Croutons

Think of this salad as an umami-charged version of a classic Caesar. The central difference is that the egg yolk, which is typically emulsified into a creamy dressing, is plopped directly onto the lettuces, leaving you to break it and let it mingle with the salty, garlicky, lemony dressing.

Olive Oil-Roasted Chicken With Caramelized Carrots

Think of this as a weeknight chicken confit, cooked low and slow in plenty of olive oil along with sweet carrots and tangy lemon slices.

Skillet Chicken With White Beans and Caramelized Lemon

One of the best parts of cooking skin-on chicken in a skillet, aside from the obvious (crispy skin), is the delicious fat left behind.

Vinegar Chicken With Crushed Olive Dressing

This tangy, turmeric-stained, sheet-pan chicken makes the most of the schmaltzy bits left behind on the pan, which is deglazed with fresh garlic, briny olives and a bit of water.

Wine-Braised Chicken With Artichoke Hearts

Artichokes become weeknight friendly when they come from a can or a jar. Be sure to buy the unmarinated ones here. The gentle braise in rendered chicken fat and tangy white wine, mixed with onions and herbs, provides all the flavor the artichokes need.

Chopped Liver on Matzo

It’s not much to look at, but at least one of you will become a fan after spreading this funky, savory mixture onto a salted matzo with a sprinkle of parsley and lemon juice.
