Roast Chicken Thighs with Peas and Mint

Ingredients for Roast Chicken Thighs with Peas and Mint

• 6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 1.1kg total)

• 1 colher de sopa de coentro moído

• Sal kosher

• 2 colheres de sopa de azeite de oliva extra-virgem

• 3 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, sliced 1/2" thick

• 4 dentes de alho, fatiados finamente

• 5 (2x1") strips lemon zest

• 2 folhas de louro

• 1/3 cup dry white wine

• 350ml de caldo de galinha com baixo teor de sódio

• 1 cup fresh (or frozen, thawed) peas

• 1 cup mint leaves, torn if large

Preheat oven to 177°C. Pat chicken thighs dry; sprinkle flesh side with coriander. Season generously all over with salt.

Heat oil in a large high-sided or cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook chicken, skin side down, undisturbed, until thighs release easily from pan, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook, scooting chicken around occasionally for even browning, until golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Pour out all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet and return to medium heat. Add leeks and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add lemon zest and bay leaves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in wine, scraping up any brown bits stuck to bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to skillet, arranging skin side up. Transfer skillet to oven; roast chicken until cooked through and juices run clear when poked with a paring knife, 15–20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

If using fresh peas, cook in same skillet over medium heat until tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. If using frozen, cook just until warmed through, about 1 minute. Toss in mint; season with more salt if needed. Arrange vegetables and chicken in a large shallow bowl or on a platter.
