CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH MIXED PEPPERS

Chicken Stir-Fry With Mixed Peppers image

I used green peppers only for this stir-fry. Try to use a mix of hot and sweet peppers, and feel free to use red, yellow or orange ones if you want to introduce some color. The chicken is "velveted" before stir-frying; a good name for this technique as the texture of the chicken remains velvety and moist after stir-frying.

Categories dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut across the grain in 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1 pound green peppers, with at least one of them a hot pepper such as an Anaheim
1/4 cup cashew pieces

Steps:

In a large bowl stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set it near your wok.
Fill a medium-size saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander set over a bowl.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add the remaining oil by pouring it down the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, cashews and hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles.

CRISPY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEPPERS, CAPERS AND OLIVES

Crispy Chicken Thighs With Peppers, Capers and Olives image

The Italian technique employed here - sautéing chicken with a weighted pan on top - is called al mattone. It yields a crisp, burnished skin and very juicy meat. Instead of the usual spatchcocked bird, this recipe calls for large bone-in, skin-on thighs. Cook them in a cast iron pan, if you can, for even heat, but any heavy skillet will do. For a bit of smokiness, the chicken may be cooked (in the cast iron pan) over a charcoal grill. The accompanying sweet pepper stew can be made up to a day in advance and reheated, and starting your seasoning early - an hour ahead or up to 24 - will result in the tastiest chicken.

Categories poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
2 large sprigs rosemary, very roughly chopped
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
Grated zest and juice of 1 small lemon (about 1 teaspoon zest and about 3 tablespoons juice)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium red onions, sliced in 1/4-inch half-moons (about 3 cups)
6 bell peppers, in assorted colors, if possible, sliced 3/8-inch lengthwise (about 8 cups)
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
3 garlic cloves, grated or minced
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup green olives (like Castelvetrano)
1/2 cup black olives (like Niçoise)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, roughly chopped
Pinch of dried oregano

Steps:

Start the chicken: Pat chicken dry and place in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add garlic, rosemary, red-pepper flakes, lemon zest and juice. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss the thighs to coat, using hands to smear the mixture evenly over the chicken. Let marinate for 1 hour at room temperature, or, if time permits, overnight in the refrigerator.
Make the peppers: Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, wide skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. When oil begins to look wavy, add onions and stir to coat. When the onions begin to soften (don't let them brown), add peppers and stir to combine. Season well with salt and pepper, and add garlic and red-pepper flakes. Stir to incorporate and reduce heat to medium. Cover, leaving the lid ajar.
Cook mixture for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until completely soft. Add olives, vinegar and capers, and cook for a few minutes more, just to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with oregano. Set aside. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Cook the chicken: Place a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is wavy, add chicken thighs, skin-side down. Shake the pan to make sure the chicken isn't sticking.
Lower the heat to medium. Place a piece of parchment or aluminum foil on top of chicken and set another skillet on top. Add some weight - a brick or canned goods, for example - to the top skillet. Set heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, checking occasionally to be sure chicken isn't sticking, until the skin side is beautifully browned.
Turn thighs over and cook for 10 minutes more, until thighs are cooked through. (To test, pierce the chicken with a paring knife. The juices should run clear.) If you wish, turn the thighs skin-side down again and let crisp for a few more minutes.
Serve 1 thigh and a large spoonful of stewed peppers to each guest. Leftover peppers, if any remain, will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

<h3>Tips for Cooking Chicken and Peppers</h3>

Use a variety of peppers. Different types of peppers, such as bell peppers, chili peppers, and jalapeños, offer different flavors and heat levels. Mixing and matching peppers can create a complex and delicious dish.
Season the chicken well. Before cooking, season the chicken with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure that it is cooked safely.
Sauté the peppers until they are tender. Sauté the peppers in a pan with a little oil until they are tender but still have a bit of a crunch. This will help to bring out their flavor.
Combine the chicken and peppers. Once the chicken and peppers are cooked, combine them in a pan or skillet. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately. Chicken and peppers are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
