with the
baking pan if desired. Preheat to 450ºF with
both the top and bottom heating elements on.
2. Season the chicken thighs on both sides
with ½ teaspoon of salt and all of the
pepper. Dredge the chicken thighs in flour to
coat lightly. Heat the olive oil in the baking
pan; once hot, add chicken and brown on
both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.
Remove and reserve.
3. Reduce heat to 350ºF. Sauté onion and
garlic for 4 to 6 minutes until softened.
Stir in the rosemary sprig and remaining
¼ teaspoon of salt. Add the lemon juice,
scraping up any brown bits that remain on
the cooking surface with a wooden spoon.
Add the chicken broth and lemon zest and
bring to a boil.
4. Nestle the browned chicken thighs in the
onion mixture. Place lemon slices on top of
the chicken. Reduce heat to 250ºF. Close
the oven and cook until thighs are very
tender, about 1 hour.
5. Garnish with rosemary; serve in shallow
bowls with rice or mashed potatoes.

with baking
pan if desired. Preheat to 350ºF with the top
element off.
2. Once pan is hot, add 1 teaspoon of butter,
swirling pan to cover the cooking surface
evenly. Add carrots, snow peas, garlic and
ginger. Sauté until bright and still crisp,
about 1½ to 2 minutes. Carefully remove
and reserve.
3. Add the remaining butter. Once melted, add
the rice; stir-fry, allowing rice to sit about 45
seconds between stirs, until rice has just
browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Push rice to one side of the pan. Add
egg and let it cover half of the pan, being
sure not to let it touch the rice. Cook egg,
breaking up with a spatula while cooking.
Once egg has cooked, mix with rice.
5. Turn off heat; stir in reserved vegetables and
the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust
seasoning accordingly.
