The challenge
Making roast chicken for a classic, hearty dinner.
The convention
Seasoning raw whole chicken or chicken parts, then roasting the meat in the oven.
The quickie
Browning bone-in chicken pieces on the skillet before finishing them in the oven.
HOW THIS QUICKIE WORKS
- After its skin gets crisped on the stove, the chicken is then put in the oven until cooked through (about 12 minutes)
- While the chicken roasts and rests, the lima bean ragoût simultaneously comes together on the stove
- Earthy mushrooms, mild lima beans, and oil-cured olives complement the rustic flavors of the roast chicken
HOW THIS QUICKIE COOKS UP
After the chopped onions and mushrooms are sautéed with garlic, the sauce comes together with a wine and chicken broth reduction and a finishing toss-in of lima beans and olives. The ragoût and the roast chicken are then reunited on the serving platter.

Funny that you publish this recipe now…I was just talking about how much I hated lima beans growing up and that I was thinking about giving them another chance. Guess I’ll have to now.
Made this for dinner tonight. Definitely will make again.
