CHICKEN WITH CHICKPEA AND TOMATO RAGU



Chicken with Chickpea and Tomato Ragu image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced into half-moons
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 small fennel, trimmed and sliced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more to taste (garlic salt would also work here)
One 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup torn basil leaves
Freshly grated Parmesan, if desired

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the onion, garlic and fennel to the hot pan. Season with salt and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are beginning to soften and are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the oregano and garlic powder to the vegetables and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the vegetables are translucent and beginning to brown slightly, another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pan along with the vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Using the back of a wooden spoon, crush the tomatoes into medium-sized pieces. Simmer for 10 minutes while you start the chicken.
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the chicken is evenly browned on both sides, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully ladle the tomato mixture over and around the chicken, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and butter and cook to heat through, 2 more minutes. Did you taste it? Season with additional salt, garlic powder or garlic salt if needed. Stir in the basil and serve topped with Parmesan, if desired.

CHICKEN MILANESE WITH TOMATO AND FENNEL SAUCE



Chicken Milanese with Tomato and Fennel Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 43m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cups plain bread crumbs
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless and skinless chicken breasts, tenderloins removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 fennel bulbs, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 1/2 cups (12 ounces) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Using 3 wide shallow bowls, add the flour to 1, the eggs to another and to the third bowl combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and thyme.
  • On a work surface, put the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, lightly pound the chicken until approximately 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly, then dip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess egg to drip off. Coat the chicken with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • In a large, nonstick saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of the breaded chicken into the oil and cook until light golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Reserve the cooking juices in the saute pan.
  • For the sauce: Using the same saute pan, add the olive oil to the reserved cooking juices and heat over medium heat. Add the fennel and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic and thyme. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the tomatoes are tender. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until the mixture is creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top before serving.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 large fennel bulb, preparation instructions below
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
9 ounces small red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
2/3 cup fat free chicken broth or 2/3 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 halves roasted red peppers, cut into large (1/2 inch)

Steps:

  • Trim the green tops off the fennel and reserve. Halve, then quarter the fennel, cut out the core, then cut lengthways into slices.
  • Prepare the chicken for cooking by seasoning with salt, pepper, paprika and crushed fennel seed.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet, add the chicken, then fry quickly until lightly opaque and browned for about 2 minutes. (Note the chicken will not be cooked through.) Add the fennel, onions and garlic, then stir briefly until the fennel has a bit of color - as much from cooking as from taking on the spices from the chicken bites.
  • Add in the potatoes, diced roasted tomatoes, broth and a tomato paste, and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 15 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender to the fork but not breaking apart.
  • Stir in the roasted peppers and heat through.
  • Roughly chop the reserved fennel fronds, about 1 tablespoon or so, then sprinkle over the ragout. Serve in shallow bowls or plates with high lips along with crusty bread for mopping up the juices.

CHICKEN RAGù WITH FENNEL



Chicken Ragù With Fennel image

This is a simplified riff on a popular recipe that the food editor Andy Baraghani developed for Bon Appétit magazine. It's a velvety ragù that relies on chicken thighs, bacon and onions for flavor. It takes a couple of steps - browning the chicken, letting it cool after it braises and then shredding it - but it is not too challenging for a weeknight. The recipe is versatile. Over egg noodles, it serves six for dinner, but it can also make a nice dinner for two or four. The leftovers freeze well, or can turn into a filling for hand pies, which are terrific tucked into lunchboxes the next day.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces bacon, thinly sliced crosswise
6 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 3/4 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 bulb fennel, cored and finely chopped
6 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
Pasta (optional)
1/2 cup whole milk
Ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a wide saucepan or deep skillet that will fit six thighs snugly and turn the heat to medium. Add the bacon and cook it until it's crisp, 5 to 6 minutes, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer it to a small bowl.
  • Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the chicken, skin-side down, to begin to brown. After 3 or 4 minutes, turn it and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat.
  • Add the onion and fennel and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and just starting to turn golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the thyme and cook for another minute or so.
  • Pour in wine and simmer, stirring and scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the bacon and then the chicken with any accumulated juices, skin-side up, keeping the thighs in a single layer. Pour in enough water to almost cover the chicken.
  • Bring to a simmer and then turn the heat down so the liquid is bubbling very gently. Partially cover with a lid, setting it so some steam can escape. Cook until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool. Once you can handle it, remove the bones and skin and shred the chicken by hand.
  • If you are serving the ragù over pasta, get your water going: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining.
  • Add milk to the pan and turn the burner to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until sauce is nearly reduced by half and slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the shredded chicken back to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the butter, then the Parmesan. If serving over pasta, add some of the starchy pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
  • Add the parsley, and toss sauce with the pasta, if using. Pass more Parmesan at the table.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH FENNEL



Roast Chicken With Fennel image

The kind of fennel we see in supermarkets (which, almost needless to say, is cultivated, not wild) is wonderful when cooked to full tenderness, so I thought it might make a good base for chicken, which is heavier than fish and takes longer to cook. The idea was that the fennel would lend its flavor to the chicken, the chicken would lend its juices to the fennel and the creation would need little else. The results were better than expected. Garnished with parsley and served with a bit of lemon (especially when caramelized, fennel can be quite sweet), the dish has an elegant look and delicious, surprisingly complex flavor.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 bulbs fennel, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole (about 3-pound) chicken, cut up, or about 3 pounds drumsticks and thighs
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle bottom of shallow roasting pan or baking sheet with about half the olive oil and cover it with a layer of the fennel. Overlap pieces if necessary but use whole pan. Drizzle remaining oil over fennel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut up chicken if necessary and sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Top fennel with the chicken parts, skin side up. Ideally, you'll have a layer of fennel pretty much covered by a layer of chicken, but it's fine if some of the fennel roasts uncovered. Spoon some of the oil from bottom of pan over chicken. If there is not enough, drizzle additional olive oil over the chicken. Roast about 15 minutes, then baste chicken with pan drippings and rotate the pan. If necessary, adjust oven temperature so chicken browns but does not burn.
  • The chicken will be done in about 30 minutes. Serve each piece with some fennel and a little of the pan juices spooned over, garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.
