Broil chicken breasts for a simple but delicious way to prepare chicken. Extra-virgin olive oil and generous amounts of salt and pepper make for a savory chicken breast that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Rub olive oil over each chicken breast, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down on a broiling pan.

Broil in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken breast skin-side up. Continue broiling until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

French Onion Soup Focaccia
I've taken all the best flavors of a classic crock of French onion soup and baked them into a light and fluffy focaccia. I like to use a small Dutch oven to cook the onions so the heat is evenly distributed and none of them scorch, which can make them bitter. If the onions seem to be sticking to the bottom of the pan, simply add one or two tablespoons of water and scrape up any brown bits. I love the classic flavor of Gruyère, but you could also use shredded sharp Cheddar! Herbes de Provence let me pretend I'm enjoying this in a chic Parisian café, but dried thyme works just as well if that's what you have on hand.
Caldo de Res (Mexican Beef Soup)
Caldo de res is a Mexican beef soup that's extremely hearty and satisfying. The hind shank flavors the broth beautifully as does the marrow in the bones. Garnish with slivered raw onion, lime juice, jalapeños, and more cilantro.
