Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 1/2 ounces can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons sherry wine vinegar
1 pinch saffron thread
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/2 lb. total)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lb chorizo sausage, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 large garlic cloves, smashed
15 ounces can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Purée the tomatoes and their juices, the vinegar, saffron, and 1/2 cup water in a blender or food processor. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, dredge the chicken in the flour, and shake off any excess.
  • Heat 1-1/2 Tbs. of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the chicken and cook without touching until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides brown, 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil to the pan and then add the chorizo and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until they start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato purée, chickpeas, and thyme and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, nestling it into the sauce. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic cloves before serving, if you like.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. I also served it with a side of spicy sauce for those who like it hot.

I accidentally used spicy chorizo instead of mild, but it was still delicious. The flavors were bold and complex, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use mild chorizo next time.
