ITALIAN CHICKEN STOUP WITH PORCINI, PORTOBELLO AND PEPPERS



Italian Chicken Stoup with Porcini, Portobello and Peppers image

Stoup is a term that I made up to describe a soup almost as thick as stew. This is a cacciatore that I think is the easiest way to eat and enjoy the flavors - no bones, no muss or fuss and lots of juice. I won't turn down a bowl of the original, but I prefer this dish.

Time 1h15m

Yield s: 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 large red bell pepper
1/3 cup dried porcini mushrooms (a handful)
3 cups homemade or store-bought chicken stock
3 tablespoons EVOO
4 ounces pancetta, cut 1/8-inch thick, diced
2 large portobello mushroom caps, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red chile pepper, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 large bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry red or white wine
One 14-ounce can stewed tomatoes
4 cups pulled or chopped cooked chicken meat
Ciabatta or other crusty bread
Shaved pecorino cheese, for garnish
Coarsely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, for garnish
Bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Char the pepper on a gas burner or under the broiler with the oven door slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Place the evenly charred pepper in a bowl, cover and cool. Peel and seed the pepper, and then chop.
  • Meanwhile, place the dried mushrooms in a small pot with the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer a few minutes to soften mushrooms. Once tender, turn off the heat.
  • While the dried mushrooms are softening up, heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and brown 2 minutes. Add the portobello mushrooms and brown until dark, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, chile pepper, rosemary and bay leaf. Season with some salt and pepper and cook to soften, 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir 1 minute. Add the wine and stir. Add the porcini mushrooms and their stock, all but the last few spoonfuls, as grit may have settled here. Add 3 cups water, the stewed tomatoes, chicken and chopped roasted red peppers. Bring to a low boil, and simmer 15 minutes. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat, adding water if necessary to thin.
  • Serve in shallow bowls. Top with the shaved pecorino and parsley, and bread for mopping.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to keep it moist and tender.
  • Use a variety of peppers: A mix of bell peppers (such as red, yellow, and orange) will add a variety of colors and flavors to the dish.
  • Cook the chicken and peppers in a hot skillet: This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and caramelize the peppers.
  • Add a splash of white wine: White wine will help to deglaze the skillet and add a touch of acidity to the dish.
  • Simmer the chicken and peppers in a flavorful sauce: A simple sauce made with tomatoes, garlic, and herbs will help to bring all the flavors together.
  • Serve the chicken and peppers over rice or pasta: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This Italian chicken and peppers recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the peppers are colorful and crisp, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve it over rice or pasta for a complete meal that your family and friends will love.
