Joy Bauer's slow-cooker recipes: Chicken chili and eggplant Parm - TODAY

Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:09 AM PST

Since we're all multitasking at home more than usual these days, I'm dishing out two slow cooker recipes so you can cook dinner and have your hands free to do the 1,000 other things on your to-do list. First up, we have a saucy, cheesy Eggplant Parm with garlicky walnut breadcrumbs that is incredibly good. Next, a hearty and mildly spicy Salsa Verde Chicken Chili. These recipes are full of flavor, packed with nutritious ingredients and cooked to perfection in your magic pot.

This slow cooked, lightened-up classic Italian dish is a total no-brainer — it's an aubergen-ius good-for-you recipe. The prep is so simple and there is no need to bread and fry the eggplant, because let's be honest, when these purple-ish gems are smothered in flavorful sauce and melty cheese, there's no reason for the extra step — or the extra calories. This dish involves luscious layers of nutrition and loads of cheesy goodness with a sneaky omega-3 crunch from walnuts. You can certainly skip the superfood breadcrumbs if you're short on time, but I'm telling you, these garlic-infused walnut breadcrumbs in between each layer brings each bite over the top. This is a must-try, melt-in-your-mouth indulgence!

Joy Bauer's Slow-Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Chili

When it gets chilly outside, I love to make a big batch of chili, so my family feels all warm and cozy on the inside. While I usually make a traditional tomato-based variety, today, I'm remixing my go-to, with a mean, green Salsa Verde Chicken Chili. Salsa verde is made with tomatillos, which are typically firmer than tomatoes, and a bright, vibrant shade of green when ripe. And we can't talk about chili without mentioning beans! I add a can of dark red kidney beans along with a can of white cannellini beans, but you can swap in any beans you have on hand to make it a filling and fibrous all-star dish. The prep is a breeze, it cooks with ease, freezes perfectly and is sure to be a hit with your crew.

Sheet-Pan Chicken With Squash and Dates Recipe - The New York Times

Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:19 PM PST

This weeknight sheet-pan dinner combines chicken with simple ingredients that hit a number of notes, all salty, sweet, tangy and rich. The juicy Medjool dates caramelize as they cook, while the chickpeas become extra toasty and nutty. Their textures complement the velvety roasted squash and meaty chicken. A lemony olive-caper relish with fresh parsley, bolstered by pan juices, brightens and balances. Chop up leftovers and repurpose them in a rice salad with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan for extra tang. Or, for a fantastic vegetarian side dish or warm salad, you could make this recipe without the chicken.

I Can’t Wait to Make This Chicken - The New York Times

Posted: 22 Jan 2021 09:33 AM PST

Hello and welcome to Five Weeknight Dishes. Maybe it's just a mood, but I am embracing extra big and bold flavors this week — statement dishes, if you will. The recipes below use ingredients like capers, kimchi and barbecue sauce to bring some spark to your table, even on a Tuesday.

What are you cooking these days? How's the weather where you are? (Californians, I know you're luxuriating in your citrus in the sunshine, not slumping in the cold like Bernie Sanders in his mittens.) Tell me of you. I'm dearemily@nytimes.com, and I read every note.

[Sign up here to receive the Five Weeknight Dishes newsletter in your inbox every Friday.]

Here are five dishes for the week:

1. Sheet-Pan Chicken With Squash and Dates

Dates and squash, olives and capers: Kay Chun expertly plays sweet off salty in this new recipe, which is reminiscent of chicken Marbella. The combination of flavors here sounds so delicious to me; I can't wait to make this one. If you're vegetarian or want a meatless dinner, omit the chicken and scale up the chickpeas and squash.

2. One-Pan Orzo With Spinach and Feta

Here's a gloriously green meal for the grayest month of the year (or so it is here in the Northeast). Similar to the Greek rice dish spanakorizo, this dish by Melissa Clark could be a meal unto itself — which is how I'd serve it — but you could always pair it with quickly roasted fish.

4. Cod and Kimchi Stew

Rick Martinez uses fish in this weeknight stew, which is rooted in the classic Korean dish kimchi jjigae. This recipe delivers enormous flavor for not much effort, and a big bowl of it is paradise on a cold evening.

5. Folami's BBQ Tofu

The sweetness and tang of barbecue sauce, combined with the method of drying, searing and then broiling the tofu, make this recipe especially delicious. It comes from Folami Prescott-Adams, a community psychologist (and home cook), by way of the writer Nicole Taylor. Greens and baked macaroni and cheese would be ideal alongside, but store-bought rolls or rice would do well on a weeknight.
