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.

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.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND CAPERS



Braised Chicken With Tomatoes, Olives and Capers image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole cut-up chicken, or about 3 pounds parts, bone in, skin on
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
1 cup Niçoise or kalamata olives, pitted
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed, adjusting the heat so the chicken doesn't burn, until the pieces are browned on the bottom and release easily from the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the chicken every few minutes, until it's brown all over, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
  • Add the onions and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes; cook until the mixture starts to bubble and the tomatoes thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and let the mixture bubble for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the olives and thyme, and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce. Adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently but steadily, then cover the skillet. Cook, turning the chicken every 10 minutes or so and adding a splash of stock or water if the sauce looks too dry, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 155 to 165). Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Chicken with Lemon-Caper Sauce image

A rich chicken dish, perfect for a special meal.

Provided by ALISSASMOM

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Mix together salt and flour in a small dish or plastic bag, then coat chicken and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake excess flour from chicken, then brown in hot oil until both sides are golden-brown, and the inside has turned white and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken, and set aside in a warm place. Pour white wine into the skillet, and allow to boil as you dissolve the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the lemon juice, and allow to come to a boil, cook for a few minutes until reduced by half.
  • Sprinkle the cubed butter into the boiling sauce. Swirl and shake the pan vigorously to dissolve the butter, thus thickening the sauce. The butter must never come to rest, or the sauce will separate and become oily. Once the butter has completely incorporated, remove from heat and stir in capers.
  • To serve, pour lemon-caper sauce over the chicken, and serve with a wedge of lemon.
