BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Braised Chicken With Tomatoes, Olives and Capers image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm grouper fillets. Look for fillets that are white and opaque, with no brown or yellow spots. The flesh should be firm to the touch and spring back when pressed.
  • Use a large skillet that is oven-safe. This will allow you to sear the grouper and then braise it in the same pan.
  • Sear the grouper fillets over high heat until they are golden brown. This will help to seal in the juices and flavor.
  • Add the tomatoes, onions, capers, and white wine to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the grouper is cooked through.
  • Serve the grouper with rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Skillet-braised grouper with tomatoes, onions, and capers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The grouper is cooked in a flavorful sauce that is packed with tomatoes, onions, capers, and white wine. The result is a dish that is both light and flavorful.
