Ingredients for Skillet-Roasted Chicken with Farro and Herb Pistou

  • 80ml extra-virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil

  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 2 1/2-1.4kg chicken, halved, backbone removed

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 2 matskedar vegetabilisk olja

  • Farro with Acorn Squash and Kale

  • Herb Pistou

  • 1 lemon, halved

Whisk 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon chives, and next 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Divide marinade between 2 (gallon-size) resealable plastic freezer bags. Season chicken with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt; place 1 chicken half in each bag. Seal bags, releasing excess air. Chill overnight.

Place bags side by side in a large pot. Add cold water to cover by 2". Heat water over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer registers 66°C. Turn off heat, cover, and poach chicken for 50 minutes. Transfer bags to a large bowl of ice water to cool, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken from bags; pat dry.

Preheat oven to 232°C. Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add chicken halves, skin side down, so chicken sits against sides of pan. Cook, moving chicken occasionally for even cooking, until skin is browned all over. Flip chicken and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 74°C, about 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.

To serve, divide Farro with Acorn Squash and Kale among plates. Place chicken on top of farro. Drizzle 60ml Herb Pistou around farro. Drizzle 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil over each plate. Squeeze lemon halves over chicken. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chives over.
