SUNNY'S EASY BRAISED TOMATO CHICKEN AND SPINACH WITH FETTUCCINE



Sunny's Easy Braised Tomato Chicken and Spinach with Fettuccine image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8), cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 pounds cherry tomatoes
3/4 cup roughly chopped kalamata olives
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cloves garlic
About 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 pound fresh spinach fettuccine
6 ounces baby spinach
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large pan with straight sides and a lid (large enough to eventually hold all the chicken nestled in 1 layer), add the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to swirl, add the chicken pieces in batches, without crowding the pan. Cook until golden brown, flipping and browning on all sides. The purpose isn't to fully cook them here, just to get color. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Immediately add the tomatoes to the pan and allow them to roast while resting for a few minutes, then shake the pan and stir to get another side of the tomatoes roasting on the bottom of the pan. Cook like this until the tomatoes are charred and begin to break apart and create a sauce, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the black olives, chile flakes and garlic to the tomatoes. Then, nestle the chicken pieces back into the pan. Add enough chicken stock so the chicken is almost but not completely covered by the liquid (leave about 1/2 inch). Cover and lower to a simmer. Cook until the check of a garlic clove reveals it to be tender, or the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Bring the liquid in the pan back to a boil. Add the pasta and spinach and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes (according to the timing on the package). Remove the pasta to serving plates or bowls. Pour the chicken and spinach sauce over the pasta and serve with a spritz of lemon.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • For a richer flavor, use sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
  • If you don't have spinach, you can use kale or Swiss chard instead.
  • Serve over rice, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This easy chicken with tomatoes and spinach is a quick and healthy meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of chicken, tomatoes, and spinach is flavorful and filling, and the addition of Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
