Time 28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 hot cherry peppers, drained and chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped or thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock or broth
1/4 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
2 tablespoons juice from hot pepper jar
Orzo with Parsley and Lemon Zest, recipe follows
1/2 pound orzo
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
2 large lemons, zested
Black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cut chicken into large chunks and season with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil to the hot pan, 1 turn in a slow stream. Set chicken into pan and do not turn for 2 or 3 minutes or you will tear the meat. Brown chicken 3 minutes on each side and then remove all of the chicken to a warm plate. Add bell peppers, hot peppers and garlic to the pan. Saute the peppers and garlic for 5 minutes, tossing and turning them frequently. Add wine to the pan and reduce 1 minute. Scrape up the pan drippings. Add the chicken stock and bring it up to a bubble. Set the chicken back into the pan. Toss the parsley with the chicken and peppers and cook the chicken through, 2 or 3 minutes. Scatter a little hot pepper juice over the pan and serve the Scarpariello over a bed of lemon orzo. WOW!
  • Cook orzo in salted water about 12 minutes, to al dente. Drain orzo well. Do not run under cold water. You want the cooked pasta to remain hot. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl. Drizzle orzo with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and parsley and toss to combine the flavors with the pasta.

RAO'S CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO (SHOEMAKER'S CHICKEN)



Rao's Chicken Scarpariello (Shoemaker's Chicken) image

Chicken scarpariello, also known as shoemaker's chicken, is a classic Italian-American dish of chicken, sausage, vinegar, onions and peppers that has all the flavors and textures: Tangy and rich, spicy and sweet, tender and crunchy. Our version is adapted from one found on the menu at Rao's, the reservations-impossible Southern Italian restaurant and celebrity hangout in Harlem. It starts with pan-frying chicken pieces and Italian sausage in a little olive oil until golden brown. Bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and garlic go into the pan and are sautéed until soft. All of that - plus hot peppers, potatoes, vinegar and wine - goes into a roasting pan and into a hot oven until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. (The potatoes are totally optional, by the way, but they are a nice, pillowy counterpoint to the prickly heat of the peppers.) Serve with a hunk of good bread to mop up the sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and breasts, breasts cut crosswise in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 links Italian sausage (2 hot and 2 sweet), about 1 pound
2 large bell peppers (red, yellow or green), seeded and cut into thin strips
2 jalapeño peppers, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into thin slices
1 large sweet onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 to 8 hot vinegared cherry peppers (or peppadew or pepperoncini), left whole
2 to 3 small red potatoes, peeled, sliced and boiled until tender, but not mushy (optional)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 to 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, to taste
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. In batches, brown the chicken, skin side down to start, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the sausage and sauté until brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. (They will not be cooked all the way through at this point.) Remove with a slotted spoon, cut into 1-inch slices and set aside.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the pot and sauté the bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and garlic until soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the sausage to pot, add the cherry peppers, potatoes (if using), chicken broth, wine, vinegar, oregano and season with salt and pepper. Gently mix together, then transfer everything in the pot to a roasting pan. Nestle the chicken in the vegetables and sausage and roast in the oven until chicken is cooked through and sauce has reduced slightly, about 30 minutes.

CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO



Chicken Scarpariello image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fennel sausage, cut into bite- size pieces
2 (3-pound) chickens, cut into 8 to 10 pieces with bone left intact
Kosher salt
1 Spanish onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup quartered hot cherry peppers
1/2 cup hot cherry pepper juice, from the jar
1 cup chicken stock, plus a little more if needed
3 sprigs fresh oregano, picked and chopped

Steps:

  • Coat a large, wide pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown well. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and reserve.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and add to the pan that the sausage was browned in. Brown the chicken well. Once the chicken is brown on all sides, remove it from the pan and reserve.
  • Drain the oil from the pan and return it to the heat. Coat the pan lightly with new olive oil, add the onions, and season with salt. Cook the onions over medium heat until they are translucent and very aromatic, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
  • Add the wine to the pan and reduce it by half. While the wine is reducing, scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the sausage and chicken to the pan and add the cherry peppers, cherry pepper juice, chicken stock, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for 5 more minutes; add more chicken stock if the stock has reduced too much.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. The finished dish should be slightly soupy, spicy, and delicious.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 whole 3 pound chicken, backbone removed and split down the breastbone
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 rosemary sprigs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed
1 cup red potatoes, roasted and sliced
1/2 cup button mushrooms, Sauteed
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
Juice of one lemon
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken in roasting pan and set aside. Mix mustard, lemon juice, wine, garlic, pepper, rosemary and oil in a bowl and pour over chicken halves. Marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight. After fully marinated, add carrot, celery, onion and rosemary to roasting pan evenly around and under chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 45 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove from oven and let settle. Cut into 8 pieces.;
  • Heat a medium size saute pan, add olive oil and saute for 1 minute. Add broccoli, mushroom and potatoes, saute for 2 minutes. Add chicken, wine and cook until wine reduces. Add chicken stock, cover and cook on low-flame for 10 minutes. To plate, remove chicken from pan and place on large platter. Add lemon, rosemary and butter to remaining sauce. Season to taste. Pour over chicken.;

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat so that it browns quickly and evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven for the best results.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of the cooking process so that they retain their crispness.
  • Serve the chicken scarpariello immediately with your favorite sides.
