2 tablespoons corn oil
4 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 10 ounces each), skin on
2 teaspoons chili powder
Kosher salt
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons honey

Stir the paste into the salsa with the olive oil and 1/4 cup of cilantro.

  • To serve, divide the chicken among 4 plates, drizzle with pan sauce, and spoon some salsa over and around.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS



Chicken Breasts With Tomatoes and Capers image

This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
8 ripe plum tomatoes cut into small cubes (or one 28-ounce can of tomatoes, drained and chopped)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup drained capers
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-bottom skillet. Add the chicken breasts and saute over medium-high heat, turning the pieces often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the shallots and garlic around the chicken. Cook briefly; add the tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, wine and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles adhering to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Blend well, bring to a boil, and then cover and simmer for 9 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salsa. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and juicy, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and oregano will add a burst of flavor to your salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Let the salsa rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the salsa up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

This baked chicken with plum tomato salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the salsa is fresh and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
