Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the chicken

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil for the broccoli rabe. 

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Do not clean the pan. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the broccoli rabe.

2

Blanch the broccoli rabe

  • Trim the root ends from the broccoli rabe.

To the pot of boiling water, add the broccoli rabe and cook until the stalks are bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, start preparing the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep and cook the vegetables

  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic. Divide into two equal portions, one for the vegetables and one for the sauce.
  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper into 1-inch-wide strips.
  • Coarsely chop the almonds.
  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. Set aside the juice for the sauce.

In the same pan used for the chicken, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in half the garlic and as many chile flakes as you like and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Remove from the heat and stir in the almonds and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the parsley.

4

Prep the parsley; make the salmoriglio sauce

  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; finely chop the leaves.

In the same pan used for the vegetables, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the oregano and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, parsley, and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water. Remove from the heat and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the chicken, broccoli rabe, and bell pepper to individual plates. Top the chicken with the salmoriglio sauce and serve.
