• ✓ yellow onion
• cilantro
• parsley
• green pea
• chickpea
• cayenne pepper
• saffron
• cumin
• oregano
• black pepper
• basmati rice
• spaghetti
• kosher salt
• red bell pepper
• butter
• olive oil
• water
• salt
• bay leaf
• carrot
• celery
• chicken

Instructions

1. 1 Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
2. 2 Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
3. 3 Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
4. 4 Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
5. 5 Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
6. 6 Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
7. 7 Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
8. 8 Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.

1. 1 Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and saute until golden brown, stirring frequently. Continue cooking over medium-low heat until onions turn deeper brown, 35 to 45 minutes. If they start to burn, reduce heat. When completely caramelized, remove skillet from heat.
2. 2 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. 3 Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Evenly stuff pockets with 1 or 2 slices of Gouda cheese (depending on size of breast) and 1 tablespoon caramelized onions.
4. 4 Place seasoned coating mix in a shallow dish. Evenly dip each chicken breast in coating mix and place on prepared baking sheet.
5. 5 Bake in preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Ingredients

• ✓ yellow onion
• cooking oil
• salt
• flour
• chicken stock
• butter

Instructions

1. 1 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onions and salt. Cook and stir until onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onions are very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
2. 2 Add quick-mixing flour; mix well and allow it to brown slightly in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour chicken stock into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Maintain a simmer and cook until sauce has reduced and thickened enough that it will coat the back of a spoon.
3. 3 Add butter; mix well. Transfer gravy to a blender. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until there are no chunks of onion left.
