Fettuccine with Chicken and Olives image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs (3 to 4)
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup pitted kalamata or Gaeta olives, roughly chopped, plus 1 tablespoon brine
1 sprig rosemary
1 15-ounce can cherry tomatoes
12 ounces fettuccine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Grated parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in another large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned, about 7 minutes. Move the chicken to one side of the pot.
  • Add the onion to the other side of the pot and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add the wine, olive brine and rosemary and cook, stirring everything together and scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is mostly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard the rosemary; shred the chicken with 2 forks.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Add the pasta, olives and 1/2 cup cooking water to the shredded chicken mixture. Cook over medium heat, tossing, until the pasta is well coated, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Divide among bowls. Drizzle with more olive oil and top with parmesan.

CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES



Chicken With Green Olives image

This dish, which draws inspiration and ingredients from Moroccan cooking, is astonishing for its complexity, even in this simple form. It features sweet spices like cinnamon and ginger offset by garlic and paprika. But what makes it a real winner is the combination of those flavors with lemon and green olives, both of which have a mouth-puckering quality that, combined with the spice mix, is enchanting.

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 to 4 pounds leg-thigh pieces of chicken, cut in two, excess fat removed
