Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 chicken thighs , skin on, bone in (about 200g / 7 oz each) (Note 1 for breast)
Salt and pepper
2 tsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 medium onion (, finely chopped)
1 EACH red and green capsicum / bell pepper (, sliced)
½ cup / 125 ml white or red wine (any is fine, I use dry white) (Note 2 for subs)
800 g / 28 oz can crushed tomato
¾ cup / 185 ml water (, swilled in empty tomato can)
1 tsp red pepper flakes ((chilli flakes), adjust to taste)
3/4 cup black olives (, pitted (or 1/3 cup sliced))
2 tbsp baby capers
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Use a small knife to prick 5 or so gashes into the skin of the chicken. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken skin side down in a cold large non stick skillet, then turn stove onto medium high. As it heats up, the fat under the skin will start to melt through the holes in the skin.
  • Cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the chicken and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
  • Remove chicken onto a plate, discard fat (don't scrape the pan) then return to the stove.
  • Add oil, garlic and onion. Cook for 1 minute, then add capsicum. Cook for 2 minutes then add wine. Bring to a simmer and stir, scraping the pan to get those golden bits mixed in.
  • Once most of the wine is evaporated and it doesn't smell winey anymore, add the tomato, water and pepper flakes. Stir, bring to a simmer, adjust heat so it's bubbling energetically but not rapidly (and not slowly).
  • After 5 minutes (or so), stir through olives and capers. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper.
  • Then place chicken into the sauce, being careful not to submerge the skin. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle over parsley. Serve with crusty bread, or use half the sauce to toss through / pour over pasta and the other half to serve with chicken (see photos in post).

CHICKEN WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken with Spicy Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Dora Moel

Categories     Blender     Chicken     Poultry     Tomato     Sauté     Winter     Healthy     Bon Appétit     Mexico

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Puree first 9 ingredients in blender.
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet; sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add sauce from blender. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked through, turning chicken over once, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to work surface. Continue to simmer sauce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes longer. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Cut chicken crosswise into thin slices. Return to sauce and heat through.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, gather and measure all ingredients, and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes have a sweeter, more intense flavor. If using fresh tomatoes, blanch them to easily remove the skins.
  • Season well: Don't be shy with the seasonings. This dish can handle a lot of flavor. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses gives this casserole a rich, cheesy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: This casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This spicy tomato chicken casserole is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of ripe tomatoes, flavorful spices, and a variety of cheeses.
