CHICKEN THIGHS IN TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken Thighs in Tomato Sauce image

If I am not in a rush I season the chicken first with salt and pepper then brown in oil, and transfer to the baking dish, the oven-baking time will be less, and I think that the chicken definately tastes better if it is browned first. I have made this using other brands of prepared mustard but for some reason French's brand is the best! To save time you can prepare the sauce the evening or day before and chill. You can use any chicken pieces that you desired, I usually use a whole cut-up chicken in place of the 10 thighs, although I have 10 thighs listed you can sneak a couple more thighs in the dish! If you don't brown the chicken first, this makes a quick weeknight meal. I have made this many times, it is easy and delicious! Adjust all sauce ingredients to suit taste.

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 chicken thighs (can use less or even a couple more)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2/3 cup brown sugar, lighty packed (if you prefer a sweeter sauce then add in another 1/4 cup packed, I most always do!)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1/3 cup prepared mustard (use French's mustard)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a large roasting pan.
  • Place the chicken thighs (skin-side up) in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a saucepan melt butter and then saute the onions, garlic, thyme and dried chili flakes for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add in the crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce (do not add in the mustard until the end of cooking!) mix to combine, season with salt, black pepper; bring to a boil, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add in the mustard; mix to combine.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish, the turn over the chicken once to coat in sauce making certain to leave the skin side up.
  • Bake uncovered, basting with sauce every 30 minutes (total cooking time should take about 1 hour and 10 minutes, if you have browned the chicken first then baking time will be less).

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1-ounce pancetta, fat trimmed and diced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 skinless chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh marjoram or oregano leaves
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 (15-ounce) can plum tomatoes (about 1 3/4 cups)
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1-ounce)
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Put the pancetta and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until the pancetta crisps, about 3 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon, reserve the oil in the pan. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and add skinned side down to the pan, and brown, in batches if needed, over high heat, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Add a tablespoon of oil and the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, without stirring until beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Shake pan and continue to cook the mushrooms until evenly golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Add the onion, garlic, marjoram, and pepper flakes; cook stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until fragrant. Crush the tomatoes through your fingers and add to the pot; cook until brick red. Stir in the tomato juices. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Return the chicken and pancetta to the pan and cook it in the oven until the meat is cooked through and tender about 30 minutes more.
  • Divide the chicken evenly among 4 plates, cover loosely with foil. With a large spoon or ladle, skim any fat off the surface of the sauce and discard. Stir the cheese and parsley into the sauce, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
12 chicken thighs, about 3 1/2 pounds, skin removed
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups coarsely chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic (8 to 10 cloves)
1 can (28 ounces) peeled tomatoes in juice, or 3 1/2 cups fresh, ripe diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped herbs (a mixture of tarragon and chives)

Steps:

  • Divide the oil between 2 skillets, and heat it over medium-to-high heat until it is hot. Add the chicken in one layer to the skillets. Sprinkle half the salt over the chicken pieces, and brown them for 5 minutes on one side, then for 5 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove the chicken to a platter, and add the onions to the drippings in the skillets. Cook about 2 minutes over high heat to brown the onions lightly. Add the garlic, and cook about 30 seconds longer.
  • If using canned tomatoes, divide the tomatoes and their juice between the 2 skillets, breaking up the tomatoes with the edge of the spoon as you mix them in. If using fresh tomato pieces, divide them between the skillets, and add 1/4 cup of water to each skillet. Mix well and bring to a boil.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the skillets. Add the remaining salt and the pepper to the mixture, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and boil gently for 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the chicken on a platter or divide it among six individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle the chopped herbs on top, and serve.

Creamy Garlic and Mushroom Chicken Thighs image

A delicious, and relatively easy, way to make chicken thighs! It's great served over wild rice!

Provided by Kim

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
½ onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup dry white wine
1 ½ cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil over medium-heat in a large skillet. Season chicken thighs on both sides with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place thighs, skin-side down, into the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Flip thighs over and brown other side, an additional 8 minutes. Remove thighs from skillet onto a large plate, and set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in white wine and scrape browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and allow mixture to come back to a simmer.
  • Return chicken thighs to the skillet, and cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Stir in heavy cream and cook until just heated through, about 1 more minute. Adjust salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.

Provided by Bibi

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 medium onion, sliced horizontally into 6 slices
½ cup dry white wine
snipped fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pat thighs dry with paper towels. Combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of the chicken thighs.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the hot oil. Place seasoned thighs in the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn thighs and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer browned thighs to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add mushrooms; cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Add smashed garlic cloves and herbes de Provence; cook and stir for 1 more minute.
  • Move mushrooms to one side of the skillet and place 3 onion slices into the skillet. Place a browned chicken thigh on top of each onion slice. Move mushrooms to create an empty space in the skillet, and place the remaining onion slices and chicken thighs in the skillet.
  • When all the onion slices and chicken thighs are placed, redistribute the mushrooms evenly around the skillet. Pour white wine over all and cover.
  • Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until chicken thighs are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve each chicken piece with a slice of the cooked onion and some mushrooms. Garnish with snipped chives or parsley.

Categories     Chicken     Mushroom     Onion     Tomato     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3 3/4-pound chicken, cut into 10 pieces
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound mushrooms, trimmed
2 cups chopped seeded tomatoes
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 10-ounce container pearl onions, blanched 1 minute, peeled
Chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour; shake off excess. Melt butter with oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.

Stir in tomatoes, wine and onions. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pot. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Uncover pot and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce a rich, delicious flavor. You can use fresh, canned, or even sun-dried tomatoes.

  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking.
