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.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken thighs. I simply shredded the chicken and added it to the sauce.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but the overall result was still delicious. I used bone-in chicken thighs and I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce.
