      SOUTHERN LIVING Best Cast Iron Recipes - The Editors of Southern Living

      SPOLLEN

      Chicken and Turkey

      Everyone’s favorite weeknight staple is the perfect partner for a cast-iron skillet. It takes only minutes on the stovetop and results in a tasty crust loaded with fast flavor.

      Creamy Tex-Mex Cornbread Bake

      Use ground turkey and low-fat soup and milk to lighten up this hearty casserole.

      2 lb. ground turkey

      1 cup sliced scallions

      1 (10 ¾-oz.) can cream of mushroom soup

      1 cup milk

      1 (4-oz.) can chopped green chiles

      4 oz. pepper-Jack cheese, shredded and divided (1 cup)

      ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

      Cooking spray

      1 (6-oz.) pkg. buttermilk cornbread mix

      3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, 5 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Add scallions, and sauté 1 minute.

      2. Stir in soup and next 2 ingredients. Bring to a low boil, and remove from heat. Stir in ¾ cup cheese and ¼ cup cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour turkey mixture into a cast-iron skillet coated with cooking spray.

      3. Stir together cornbread mix, ¾ cup water, 3 Tbsp. cilantro, and remaining ¼ cup cheese. Pour cornbread mixture over turkey mixture in skillet.

      4. Bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.

      Note: We tested with Martha White Buttermilk Cornbread & Muffin Mix.

      SERVES 6 ACTIVE 20 min. TOTAL 40 min.

      Top-Shelf Chicken Under a Brick

      The top-shelf in this recipe speaks to the crispy skin, superior flavor, and juiciness of the bird. It also refers to a novel new technique: cooking potatoes in the heavy cast-iron skillet that’s used as a weight on the chicken. The weight presses the chicken flat against the grill grates, cutting the cooking time in half. Plus you’ll be cooking your side dish at the same time.

      1 lb. small red or Yukon gold potatoes, halved

      3 tsp. kosher salt, divided

      1 (3- to 4-lb.) whole chicken

      2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

      ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

      12 fresh herb sprigs (such as thyme, rosemary, sage, or tarragon)

      2 lemons, halved

      1. Bring potatoes, 1 tsp. salt, and water to cover to a boil in a large saucepan over high. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Drain.

      2. Heat 1 side of grill to 300°F to 350°F (medium); leave other side unlit. Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken. Place chicken, breast side down, on a cutting board. Cut chicken, using kitchen shears, along both sides of backbone, separating backbone from chicken; discard backbone. Open chicken as you would a book. Turn chicken, breast side up, and press firmly against breastbone with the heel of your hand until bone cracks. Tuck wing tips under. Rub with 1 Tbsp. oil. Sprinkle chicken with black pepper and remaining 2 tsp. salt.

      3. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on lit side of grill 10 minutes. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to hot skillet; place potatoes, cut side down, in skillet. Transfer skillet to unlit side of grill.

      4. Place chicken, breast side down, over lit side of grill; top with herbs. Place cast-iron skillet with potatoes on chicken to flatten. Grill, covered with grill lid, 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is browned. Remove skillet. Transfer chicken to unlit side of grill. Place cast-iron skillet on chicken. Grill, covered with grill lid, 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion of breast registers 165°F. Remove chicken from grill, and let stand 5 minutes. (For crisper skin, place chicken on lit side of grill, and grill, without grill lid, 5 minutes or until crisp.)

      5. Meanwhile, place lemons, cut side down, on lit side of grill, and grill, covered with grill lid, about 5 minutes or until charred and softened. Serve chicken with potatoes and charred lemons.

      SERVES 4 ACTIVE 45 min. TOTAL 1 hour, 50 min.

      Chicken-and-Black Bean Chimichangas

      Upgrade your burritos by crisping them in a skillet.

      1 lb. shredded deli-roasted chicken

      1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed

      1 (4-oz.) can mild chopped green chiles

      ¼ cup salsa verde

      ½ tsp. kosher salt

      ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

      ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

      4 (10-inch) flour tortillas

      4 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)

      ⅓ cup canola oil

      Toppings: guacamole, sour cream, chopped tomatoes

      1. Stir together first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Divide chicken mixture among tortillas, placing mixture just below center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold sides of tortilla over filling, and roll up.

      2. Fry chimichangas, in 2 batches, in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve with desired toppings.

      SERVES 4 ACTIVE 20 min. TOTAL 20 min.

      Chicken Fricassee with Spring Vegetables

      8 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 lb.)

      1 ½ tsp. kosher salt, divided

      ¾ tsp. black pepper, divided

      ½ cup all-purpose flour

      2 Tbsp. olive oil

      1 (8-oz.) pkg. cremini mushrooms, quartered

      3 medium carrots, peeled and cut diagonally into ½-inch-thick slices (about 2 cups)

      1 cup coarsely chopped leek (from 1 medium leek)

      2 cups chicken stock

      ½ cup dry white wine

      ¼ cup heavy cream

      8 oz. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup)

      Hot cooked egg noodles

      Chopped fresh chives

      1. Pat chicken dry, and sprinkle with 1 tsp. of the salt and ½ tsp. of the pepper. Place flour in a large ziplock plastic freezer bag; add chicken to bag. Seal bag, and toss to coat with flour. Heat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Remove chicken from bag, reserving flour in bag. Shake excess flour mixture from chicken, and place, bone side up, in skillet. Cook chicken until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate, and keep warm.

      2. Add mushrooms to hot drippings in skillet; cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add carrots and leek; cook about 3 minutes. Add 2 Tbsp. of the reserved flour; cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add chicken stock and wine; cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, about 6 minutes. Stir in cream and remaining ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper; add chicken, bone side down, nestling chicken into sauce mixture.

      3. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until sauce has thickened slightly and chicken is almost cooked through, about 15 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with asparagus. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and asparagus is tender-crisp, about 10 minutes.

      4. Serve chicken, vegetables, and sauce over hot cooked noodles, and garnish with chives, if desired.

      SERVES 4 ACTIVE 18 min. TOTAL 45 min.

      3 cups chicken stock

      1 tsp. kosher salt, divided

      1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed (½ of 17.3-oz. pkg.)

      12 parsley leaves

      ¼ tsp. black pepper

      2 (6-oz.) pkg. steam-in-bag fresh English peas or 3 cups frozen English peas

      4 bacon slices

      3 Tbsp. salted butter

      1 cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion (from 1 medium onion)

      ½ cup (¼-inch) diagonally sliced celery (from 1 large stalk)

      ¼ cup all-purpose flour

      ½ cup heavy cream

      2 oz. fontina cheese, shredded (about ½ cup)

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Place chicken, stock, and ½ tsp. of the salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over high.
