Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
1 rounded teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 skinless chicken thighs, bone-in
2 tablespoons EVOO
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces button mushrooms, quartered
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
1/3 cup pitted picholine or other buttery black olives, finely chopped
One 28-ounce can chopped San Marzano tomatoes
1 baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with the thyme, salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and crisp on both sides. Remove to a plate. Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned. Add the shallots, carrots and sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a couple of minutes to soften. Deglaze with the wine, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tarragon, olives and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot and cook, partially covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the baguette on an angle and toast in the oven. Divide the chicken and sauce among plates and serve with the baguette. Cook's Note: The stewed chicken can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat.

CHICKEN STEW WITH BLACK OLIVES- A ROMANIAN VERSION OF CHICKEN CACCIATORE



CHICKEN STEW WITH BLACK OLIVES- A ROMANIAN VERSION OF CHICKEN CACCIATORE image

This recipe of chicken stew with black olives is a Romanian recipe that originally is made with rabbit meat. It might remind you of the Italian chicken cacciatore recipes. As rabbit meat might not be available everywhere, chicken is the next option in terms of keeping the flavors intact.

Provided by The Bossy Kitchen

Categories     Entrees

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds chicken(any part of chicken is good, bone-in or no bone- drums, thighs, breast)
2 medium onions chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
2 bay leaves
10 black peppercorns
1 cup water(or chicken broth)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup white wine
3-4 slices of lemon(remove the skin and the white part)
1 teaspoon mustard
20-25 medium black olives
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt, pepper.
  • Place a heavy pan on the stove on medium heat and drizzle it with oil.
  • If you use chicken parts with the skin on, place chicken skin side down and do not move it until it reaches a deep golden brown and it's easy to turn. Flip the chicken on the other side and brown it as well. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Add to the pan the chopped onion.
  • Saute the onion until becomes translucid and develops flavor. Add the water(or chicken broth) and lower the heat to medium low. Return the meat to the pan and let it simmer until the chicken is tender.
  • Meanwhile. preheat oven to 350F/180C.(We will finish the stew in the oven later)
  • Add to the pan the olives, bay leaves, thyme, black peppercorns and the slices of lemon and continue to simmer everything for few more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together tomato paste, wine and mustard.
  • Pour the mixture over the chicken.
  • Season with salt and pepper(We did not add salt at the beginning, because the olives are already salty).
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake it for about 20 minutes, so the tomato sauce forms. It is ready when you see the oil rising on top of the sauce. If you feel that the sauce is too thick, a little bit of water or broth can be added.
  • This stew, originally, is served cold as a main dish(great in summer) but can be served also warm.
  • Serve it with rustic bread to dip in the sauce.

Simple Chicken Stew Recipe with Tomatoes and Olives image

This simple recipe is versatile and keeps very well, so you can prepare the night before you want to serve it and it will taste just as good as-if not better than-when it was fresh. You can also prepare the ingredients the night before and then cook it in a slow cooker while you're at work.

Add chicken and cook without moving until well browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Stir and continue cooking until lightly browned on remaining sides, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate. Add onion to pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add black olives, green olives, and capers, and cook for 1 minutes, stirring constantly.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BELL PEPPERS, OLIVES AND TOMATOES



Braised Chicken Thighs With Bell Peppers, Olives and Tomatoes image

This used what I have on hand, it has been tweaked a bit from the original recipe in Martha Stewart Living, March 2004. Although this uses 10 cloves of garlic, crushed whole garlic isn't as strong as chopped or minced garlic. Supposedly the tomatoes in canned whole tomatoes are of better quality than those used for canned crushed tomatoes, but sometimes every minute counts. You may use fresh tomatoes, but you may want to add more salt to suit your taste preference. Serve over pasta or rice. (Served over whole wheat pasta.)
