Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp olive oil
4-6 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 onion , finely sliced
2 garlic cloves , sliced
250ml red wine
2 bay leaves
4 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
small bunch of parsley , stalks and leaves separated, finely chopped
2 x 400g cans cherry tomatoes
1 chicken stock cube
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp capers (optional)
handful of pitted green olives
300g orzo , rinsed (to keep it from getting too sticky when baked)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub 1 tbsp oil over the chicken and season well, then put skin-side up in an ovenproof casserole dish or roasting tin and bake for 20-25 mins until crisp and golden, but not cooked all the way though. Remove from the dish and put on a plate.
  • Add the remaining oil to the dish, mixing it with the chicken fat. Tip in the onion and garlic, then bake for 5-8 mins until the onion is tender.
  • Pour in the wine, stirring it with the onions, then leave to evaporate slightly in the residual heat before adding the bay, thyme, rosemary, parsley stalks and tomatoes. Dissolve the stock cube in 300ml boiling water and pour this in, then add the vinegar, capers, if using, olives and orzo. Stir well and season.
  • Nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up, and roast for 20 mins until the sauce is thickened, the orzo is tender and the meat is cooked through. Give it a stir, then leave for 10 mins for the orzo to absorb the excess liquid. Scatter over the parsley leaves to serve.

Time 31m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons olive oil
12 ounces spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
3 cups chicken broth, plus more as needed
½ cup tomato sauce
1 ½ cups uncooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
¼ cup chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons sliced fresh chives
4 tablespoons ricotta cheese for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a pot over medium-high heat; add oil. Brown crumbled sausage, breaking up pieces as they cook. Cook and stir until sausage is nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces. Cook and stir until chicken begins to turn opaque, about 1 minute. Add salt.
  • Stir in chicken broth and tomato sauce. Raise heat to high and bring mixture to a simmer. Stir in orzo and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium until pasta is almost tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Remove from heat. Add grated cheese, parsley, and chives. Serve topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (3 1/2-4 lb) chicken (cut up, rinse, pat dry)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 celery rib, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes (I cut them up in the can with my kitchen shears)
1/4 cup dry red wine (Carbernet Savignon or a Pinot Noir work well)
1/4 cup fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil into the bottom of your dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Mix together the flour, salt and pepper.
  • Lightly dredge your clean, dry chicken pieces in your flour mixture and place them in your dutch oven. Cook them 4-5 minutes on each side until they are a golden brown color. Remove the chicken pieces from your pot and set aside.
  • Add your onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme and bay leaf to the pot. Add your red wine. Give the mixture a little mix with your wooden spoon and scrape up all the yummy brown bits from the bottom of your pot.
  • Add your cut up plum tomatoes and parsley.
  • Bring sauce to a boil. Turn your heat to low to bring the sauce to a simmer. Arrange your browned chicken pieces in the sauce and put the lid on the pot. Cook over low heat for 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy chicken, ensure the chicken pieces are dry before searing. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Sear the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan, resulting in steamed rather than seared chicken. If necessary, sear the chicken in two batches.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to accommodate all the ingredients comfortably. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of olive oil and butter to sear the chicken. Butter adds a delightful nutty flavor, while olive oil provides a healthy touch.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences. Add more garlic, oregano, or crushed red pepper flakes for a bolder flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch or flour slurry towards the end of cooking. Simply mix equal parts cornstarch or flour with water to form a smooth paste, then whisk it into the simmering sauce.

Conclusion:

One-pot chicken cacciatore with orzo is a symphony of flavors, textures, and colors that will tantalize your taste buds. This delectable dish combines succulent chicken, tender orzo, a medley of vegetables, and a rich, flavorful sauce, all cooked together in one pot for a hassle-free and delicious meal.
