CHICKEN AND PEPPER STEW



Chicken and Pepper Stew image

This is an adaptation of a classic French bistro dish, poulet Basquaise. The chicken is cooked in a pipérade of onion, garlic, hot and sweet peppers, tomatoes and, in the authentic version, cured ham, which I've omitted. In this version I use skinned chicken pieces. Serve with noodles, rice or other grains.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 to 8 chicken legs and/or thighs, skinned
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut in half lengthwise and then sliced across the grain
2 mildly hot chilies, like Anaheim or New Mexico chilies, cored, seeded and cut in very thin strips, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (optional)
3 to 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds (4 large) mixed green and red bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice, pulsed in a food processor
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken pieces, in batches, on each side for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate. Pour off the fat from the pan and discard.
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Add the olive oil and the onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, until the onions begin to soften. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the hot and sweet peppers, a bit of salt and the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and sugar and stir together until the tomatoes begin to bubble and smell fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover and cook 25 to 30 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring at regular intervals and turning the chicken pieces over so that the ingredients don't scorch and the chicken cooks evenly. The peppers should be very soft and the chicken quite tender. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust the salt, and serve with rice, other grains of your choice or noodles.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breasts, boneles, skinless and cut in 1 1/2" chunks
4 carrots, cut in 1" chunks
1/2 c chicken broth
1 Tbsp ginger, finely chopped
1 Tbsp brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp allspice, ground
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 Tbsp cornstarch
8 oz pineapple, drained chunks with juice reserved
1 c red bell pepper, cut in 1" chunks

Steps:

  • 1. Mix chicken, carrots, broth, ginger root, brown sugar, soy sauce, allspice and pepper sauce in 3 1/2-4 quart slow cooker.
  • 2. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7-8 hours or until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in center.

  • 4. Stir in pineapple and bell pepper.
  • 5. Cover and cook on high heat setting about 15 minutes longer or until slightly thickened and bubbly.
  • 6. NOTE: One teaspoon ground ginger may be substituted for fresh ginger root.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your stew taste its best. Look for organic, free-range chicken, and fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the chicken and vegetables won't cook evenly. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Brown the chicken first: Browning the chicken adds flavor and color to the stew. You can do this in a skillet or directly in the pot.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your stew will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and bell peppers.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Chicken and pepper stew is a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying stew that the whole family will enjoy.
