CHICKEN AND OLIVES

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups olive oil
One 3 1/2-pound fryer chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery, about 1 stalk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
3 cups chicken stock (preferably low-sodium)
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
12 green Sicilian olives, pitted
2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a deep skillet or pot large enough to hold the chicken pieces, heat the oil over medium-high heat until just starting to smoke. Pat the chicken dry, season it with pepper, and place it in the hot oil. When the chicken is browned, turn it over and brown the other side. Set the chicken aside.
  • Very carefully, as it is very hot, pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the celery and the garlic. Over medium-high heat, lightly brown the garlic, but do not burn it, or it will taste bitter. Add the wine, chicken stock, vinegar, olives, and thyme. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the liquid for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken back. Add the butter and reduce, about 15 to 30 minutes. Check the sauce for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper or vinegar.
  • Plate the chicken, drizzle with the sauce, and serve, garnished with thyme.

GARLIC LIME CHICKEN BREASTS



Garlic Lime Chicken Breasts image

An easy Garlic Lime Chicken Breasts recipe. This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but may require additional sitting time.

Provided by Bella Jarrett

Categories     Chicken     Citrus     Garlic     Poultry     Broil     Marinate     Roast     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Winter     Gourmet     New York

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 chicken breast halves with skin and bones (about 2 pounds)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl whisk together lime juice, oil, and garlic and season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat. Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, turning once or twice, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade, and arrange, skin sides up, without crowding, in a shallow baking pan. Season chicken with salt and pepper and roast in upper third of oven until just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Change oven setting to broil and broil chicken about 2 inches from heat until skin is crisp, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh garlic and lime juice. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
  • If you don't have green olives, you can use black olives. Kalamata olives are a good choice.
  • If you don't have chicken thighs, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Just be sure to cook them for less time, so they don't dry out.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This garlic lime chicken with olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
