BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole cut-up chicken, or about 3 pounds parts, bone in, skin on
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
1 cup Niçoise or kalamata olives, pitted
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed, adjusting the heat so the chicken doesn't burn, until the pieces are browned on the bottom and release easily from the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the chicken every few minutes, until it's brown all over, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
  • Add the onions and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes; cook until the mixture starts to bubble and the tomatoes thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and let the mixture bubble for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the olives and thyme, and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce. Adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently but steadily, then cover the skillet. Cook, turning the chicken every 10 minutes or so and adding a splash of stock or water if the sauce looks too dry, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 155 to 165). Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

ROSEMARY CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND OLIVES



Rosemary Chicken with Tomatoes and Olives image

A soulful, satisfying main that's inexpensive, relies on basic pantry staples, and is relatively hands-off-now that's a winner. Our Italian-esque chicken supper combines juicy chicken legs with the bold flavors of canned tomatoes and briny olives and capers. The alchemy of acid, salt, and slow heat brings the poultry to fall-off-the-bone perfection, and the gravy is heaven on mashed potatoes or polenta.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 whole chicken legs (3 to 3 1/2 pounds total), patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
1 tablespoon capers, drained, or rinsed if salt-packed
1 teaspoon minced anchovies (from 2 to 3 fillets)
3 rosemary sprigs (each 4 inches)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in juice, crushed by hand or pulsed a few times in a blender until chunky
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
3/4 cup pitted mixed olives
Mashed potatoes or creamy cooked polenta, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof straight-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high. Swirl in oil. Working in two batches if necessary, add chicken, skin-sides down, and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and brown other sides, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate; drain all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, capers, anchovies, rosemary, and red-pepper flakes to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and broth; bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Continue to simmer until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Season to taste. Return chicken to skillet, skin-sides up, along with any accumulated juices and olives.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and braise, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through and liquid is reduced to a thick gravy, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove and discard rosemary. Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great basic seasonings that can be used on chicken.
  • Use a Variety of Spices and Herbs: Spices and herbs can add a lot of flavor to your dish. Experiment with different combinations to find what you like best.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When you're cooking chicken, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Chicken with Spiced Tomato Capers and Olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and tangy. The capers and olives add a nice briny flavor to the dish.
