Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
12 chicken thighs, about 3 1/2 pounds, skin removed
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups coarsely chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic (8 to 10 cloves)
1 can (28 ounces) peeled tomatoes in juice, or 3 1/2 cups fresh, ripe diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped herbs (a mixture of tarragon and chives)

Steps:

  • Divide the oil between 2 skillets, and heat it over medium-to-high heat until it is hot. Add the chicken in one layer to the skillets. Sprinkle half the salt over the chicken pieces, and brown them for 5 minutes on one side, then for 5 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove the chicken to a platter, and add the onions to the drippings in the skillets. Cook about 2 minutes over high heat to brown the onions lightly. Add the garlic, and cook about 30 seconds longer.
  • If using canned tomatoes, divide the tomatoes and their juice between the 2 skillets, breaking up the tomatoes with the edge of the spoon as you mix them in. If using fresh tomato pieces, divide them between the skillets, and add 1/4 cup of water to each skillet. Mix well and bring to a boil.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the skillets. Add the remaining salt and the pepper to the mixture, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and boil gently for 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the chicken on a platter or divide it among six individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle the chopped herbs on top, and serve.

CHICKEN THIGHS IN TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken Thighs in Tomato Sauce image

If I am not in a rush I season the chicken first with salt and pepper then brown in oil, and transfer to the baking dish, the oven-baking time will be less, and I think that the chicken definately tastes better if it is browned first. I have made this using other brands of prepared mustard but for some reason French's brand is the best! To save time you can prepare the sauce the evening or day before and chill. You can use any chicken pieces that you desired, I usually use a whole cut-up chicken in place of the 10 thighs, although I have 10 thighs listed you can sneak a couple more thighs in the dish! If you don't brown the chicken first, this makes a quick weeknight meal. I have made this many times, it is easy and delicious! Adjust all sauce ingredients to suit taste.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 chicken thighs (can use less or even a couple more)
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2/3 cup brown sugar, lighty packed (if you prefer a sweeter sauce then add in another 1/4 cup packed, I most always do!)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
1/3 cup prepared mustard (use French's mustard)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a large roasting pan.
  • Place the chicken thighs (skin-side up) in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a saucepan melt butter and then saute the onions, garlic, thyme and dried chili flakes for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add in the crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce (do not add in the mustard until the end of cooking!) mix to combine, season with salt, black pepper; bring to a boil, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add in the mustard; mix to combine.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish, the turn over the chicken once to coat in sauce making certain to leave the skin side up.
  • Bake uncovered, basting with sauce every 30 minutes (total cooking time should take about 1 hour and 10 minutes, if you have browned the chicken first then baking time will be less).

ITALIAN PAN-FRIED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE



Italian Pan-Fried Chicken Thighs with Creamy Tomato Sauce image

This is a quick dinner that is ready in under 30 minutes. To save a little bit on the fat/calories I use a split ratio of cream and milk. This is not a requirement. Serve with your choice of sides. I like spaghetti noodles, or zucchini zoodles.

Tips:

  • Choose flavorful chicken thighs: Look for organic, free-range chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of bell peppers: Red, orange, and yellow bell peppers add a beautiful color and sweetness to the sauce.
  • Roast the bell peppers before adding them to the sauce: This intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a good quality tomato sauce: A homemade tomato sauce is always best, but you can also use a store-bought sauce if you're short on time.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Stuff the chicken thighs loosely: You don't want to overstuff them, or they will burst open during cooking.
  • Bake the chicken thighs until they are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with the roasted red pepper and tomato sauce: You can also garnish them with fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Stuffed chicken thighs with roasted red pepper and tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
