Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 red bell peppers (or 1 red and 1 yellow)
1/2 cup Marcona almonds or blanched raw almonds
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1 orange
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 Fresno chile pepper
1/2 red onion, coarsely chopped
1 large heirloom tomato
2 tablespoons EVOO
8 bone-in chicken thighs
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Char the bell peppers under a broiler or over a gas flame, turning occasionally. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel off the charred skin and remove the seeds.
  • Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a pan or in the oven until golden, then let cool.
  • Place the roasted bell peppers in a food processor along with the almonds, chicken stock, parsley, lemon and orange zest and juice, the garlic, chile pepper and red onion. Grate the tomato on the large holes of a box grater. Discard the skin and add the tomato pulp to the food processor. Puree until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with paprika, salt and pepper and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add the sherry to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in the roasted pepper sauce, reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon the sauce over top.

I love this recipe for many reasons-but mostly because it is both simple and delicious. It was passed down from an Italian grandmother and I modified it slightly to suit my family's taste. - Karen Mahlke, Estero, Florida

This recipe was a handout at my local Sam's Club this weekend. It tasted wonderful and the only sodium coming from the green olives. Top the dish off with some freshly shaved Parmesan cheese for a low, sodium, low fat meal. The wine pairing they suggest is a Chardonnay.

Tips:

  • For crispy and flavorful chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and seasonings for the coating.
  • Make sure to pat the chicken dry before coating it in the flour mixture. This will help the coating stick better and result in a crispier crust.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for cooking the chicken. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, as this will lower the temperature of the oil and make the chicken soggy.
  • To make the romesco sauce, use a combination of roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, and hazelnuts. You can also add a touch of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper for a bit of spice.
  • Serve the pan-fried chicken with the romesco sauce and a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried chicken with romesco sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, while the romesco sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
