Crispy RosemaryOrange Chicken with Parmigiano String Beans
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves removed and chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 large carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 10 pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs (eyeball it)
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (a couple of handfuls), chopped
- 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (a few overflowing handfuls), divided
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds string beans, stem ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- Preheat the broiler.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan).
- Add the chicken, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned, then add the onions, carrots, and garlic.
- Continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking with the veggies, place another skillet with 2 inches of water in it over high heat and bring up to a boil.
- Dust the chicken and vegetables with the flour and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in the orange juice and chicken stock.
- Bring up to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the olives.
- While the liquid is reducing, make the bread-crumb topping.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, orange zest, parsley, and 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a baking dish and top with the bread-crumb mixture, covering from edge to edge.
- Place under the broiler until the topping is brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the chicken is under the broiler, add the string beans and a little salt to the skillet with the boiling water.
- Simmer the beans for just 2 minutes, then drain them in a colander and return the skillet to the cooktop over medium-high heat.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO and the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the beans back to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat in the butter.
- Cook for 1 minute, add the remaining 1/2 cup of grated Parmigiano, and toss to coat.
- Transfer the cheesy string beans to a serving platter.
- Serve the string beans alongside the crispy-topped rosemaryorange chicken.
