Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 medium, ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 heads garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
3 boneless, whole double chicken breasts, with skin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches Italian parsley, stems trimmed and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons chicken fat or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Core tomatoes, cut in half horizontally, and remove seeds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place tomato halves cut side up on a rack in the oven and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until shriveled and partially dried. Puree half the tomatoes in a blender until liquefied, then add remaining tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth. (Thin with a few tablespoons water if sauce seems thick.) Strain to remove any seeds and skins, and set aside until serving time.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blanch garlic in a small pot of rapidly boiling, salted water for 1 minute. Drain and set aside to cool.
  • Create a pocket for stuffing by running your fingers between the skin and meat of each breast, leaving one side attached. Season all over with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley and garlic. Divide into 6 equal parts and stuff each breast between skin and meat, spreading evenly. If necessary, tie skin to breasts to keep in place.
  • Heat chicken fat or oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken, skin side down first, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to oven and bake about 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside for 5 minutes, to redistribute juices before serving.
  • Whisk tomato puree and coat 6 serving plates with it. Cut each breast into 1/2inch slices, across width. Arrange slices over puree and serve.

I'm not a big fan of garlic, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The parsley helped to balance out the flavor of the garlic.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try this recipe again with some adjustments.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to give it more flavor.
