PAN ROASTED STATLER CHICKEN Recipe

Sear the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the Statler chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Roast the Chicken

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let it rest.

Cook the Vegetables

In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften.

Add Sausage and Other Vegetables

Add the diced chourico sausage, bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sausage is cooked through.

Make the Sauce

In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Pour in the chicken stock and add the fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Plate the Dish

On a serving plate, place a generous portion of the vegetable hash. Top it with the sliced roasted Statler chicken and drizzle the roasted chicken sauce over the top. Serve warm.
