Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs (3 to 4)
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup pitted kalamata or Gaeta olives, roughly chopped, plus 1 tablespoon brine
1 sprig rosemary
1 15-ounce can cherry tomatoes
12 ounces fettuccine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Grated parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in another large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned, about 7 minutes. Move the chicken to one side of the pot.
  • Add the onion to the other side of the pot and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add the wine, olive brine and rosemary and cook, stirring everything together and scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid is mostly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard the rosemary; shred the chicken with 2 forks.
  • Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
  • Add the pasta, olives and 1/2 cup cooking water to the shredded chicken mixture. Cook over medium heat, tossing, until the pasta is well coated, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Divide among bowls. Drizzle with more olive oil and top with parmesan.

CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES



Chicken With Green Olives image

This dish, which draws inspiration and ingredients from Moroccan cooking, is astonishing for its complexity, even in this simple form. It features sweet spices like cinnamon and ginger offset by garlic and paprika. But what makes it a real winner is the combination of those flavors with lemon and green olives, both of which have a mouth-puckering quality that, combined with the spice mix, is enchanting.

SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES AND WHITE WINE



Sautéed Chicken With Green Olives and White Wine image

In 2004, Mark Bittman introduced this recipe to Times readers as part of a spirited argument for chicken thighs over breasts. That argument reaches peak awesomeness here, with the chicken browned and slightly braised, with olives and walnuts, and a slight acid zing from the wine and lemon.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, weeknight, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 leg-thigh pieces chicken, cut in 2, or 8 thighs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups white wine
1 cup cracked green olives
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1/2 cup broken walnut pieces
1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put oil in a deep skillet or casserole, preferably nonstick. Turn heat to medium-high. When oil is hot, add chicken, skin side down, and brown it well, rotating and turning pieces as necessary, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • With chicken skin side up, add wine and olives. Adjust heat so mixture simmers vigorously, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • When chicken is almost done, place sliced lemon on it, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Arrange chicken and lemon on a platter, and stir walnuts into sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning, then spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Chicken: Choose a whole chicken or chicken pieces that are fresh, plump, and free from any blemishes or discoloration. If using a whole chicken, cut it into 8-10 pieces.
  • Preparing the Olives: Use high-quality green olives that are firm and flavorful. Pit and slice the olives before adding them to the dish.
  • Cooking the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, ensuring that it is al dente (slightly firm to the bite) for the best texture and flavor.
  • Searing the Chicken: Sear the chicken pieces in a large skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides. This step adds a delicious caramelized flavor to the chicken.
  • Creating the Sauce: Simmer the chicken in a flavorful sauce made with white wine, chicken broth, herbs, and spices. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly to concentrate the flavors.
  • Combining the Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce has reduced, add the olives, capers, and cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined.
  • Finishing Touches: Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley or basil for an extra burst of flavor and color. Serve immediately with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
