CHICKEN IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken In Spicy Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Deborah Mele

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Green Tops From 4 Scallion Onions
5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
8 Medium Sized Chicken Thighs, or One (3 pound) Chicken Cut Into Pieces
1 Small Onion, Peeled and Finely Diced
5 Cloves Garlic, Peeled and Minced
1 Red Chili Pepper, Finely Minced
3/4 Cup Dry White Wine
1 1/2 Cups Chopped Tomatoes
1 Teaspoon Oregano
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
Sea Salt and Pepper to Taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottom pan, and once hot, brown half the chicken pieces on each side until golden brown over medium high heat, about 3 to 4 minutes each side.
  • Brown the rest of the chicken pieces and then move all to a plate.
  • Add the chopped onion to the pan, and cook over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and chili pepper to the pan and cook another minute or two until fragrant.
  • Add the wine to the pan and turn the heat up to high.
  • Use a fork to scrape up any brown bits off the bottom of the pan, and cook until the wine has reduced by 1/3 volume.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan along with the tomatoes, dried oregano, and parsley.
  • Season with salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about an hour.
  • Remove the cover, and cook an additional 15 to 20.
  • At this point, the sauce should have thickened and the chicken should be so tender it falls off the bone.
  • Alternately, instead of cooking the chicken on the stovetop, you could place the pot with the chicken and sauce in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F. and cook for an hour and a half, then uncover and cook an additional 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
  • To serve, place the chicken on a warmed platter and spoon the sauce over top.
  • Sprinkle with the chopped onions and serve immediately.

1 14 1/2-ounce can Mexican-style or regular stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

Tips:

  • Select high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to elevate the dish. Choose ripe tomatoes, succulent chicken breasts, and aromatic herbs.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs tenderizes and infuses it with delicious flavors.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to prevent any potential health risks. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Simmer the sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for a while to develop its flavors and allow the spices to meld together.
  • Adjust the spice level: Customize the spiciness of the dish by adjusting the amount of chili peppers or cayenne pepper. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it to your desired level of heat.
