Chicken Penne Arrabbiata - the name says it all; "angry" chicken with penne. This penne packs the perfect amount of heat tossed with a red wine, marinara, lots of garlic, and tender pieces of chicken. All of this made in just one pot and 30 minutes!

Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes, about 3 breasts)
1 large onion (chopped)
6 cloves garlic (minced)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 ounce penne (uncooked)
24 ounce marinara sauce (1 jar)
1 cup red wine
2 cups chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 leaves fresh basil (roughly chopped)
Parmesan cheese (for serving (optional))

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and until the chicken starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook for another 3 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent. Stir in the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.
  • Finish the pasta: Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, including the penne, and stir. Bring everything a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if needed, though mine had enough liquid.

ANGRY CHICKEN



Angry Chicken image

Provided by Masaharu Morimoto

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h10m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chickens quartered
Spicy Yogurt Marinade, recipe follows
2 cups chicken stock
24 assorted long fresh hot green and red chile peppers
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, or other vegetable oil
1 bunch Fried Rice Noodles, recipe follows
Lime wedges, for serving
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups hot sauce (recommended: Frank's)
1 1/3 cups plain yogurt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup soy sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 bundle thin rice noodles (mai fun)

Steps:

  • This is one of the most popular dishes on my menu. I have a restaurant in Mumbai, so I visit India often, and here you can see how I've been influenced by one of my favorite Indian dishes: Tandoori chicken. The bird is first marinated in spiced yogurt before being roasted in a very hot oven. For garnish, I make a zesty sauce from the marinade and serve the pieces of chicken with whole grilled fresh chiles. The secret ingredient here is the hot sauce. I always use Frank's, a Louisiana-based sauce with a distinct red pepper flavor, which is neither as hot nor as sharp as other brands. As a result, the marinated chicken is certainly spicy, but not incendiary. If you want more heat, I encourage you to eat the chiles. The noodle topping is dramatic, and you'll always see it at the restaurant, but at home you can consider it optional.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Trim any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse and pat dry. Place the chicken quarters in a large bowl. Measure out 1 cup of the Spicy Yogurt Marinade and reserve for the sauce; refrigerate in a small covered container.
  • Pour the rest of the marinade over the chicken. Turn the pieces to make sure they are all well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange the pieces on 1 or 2 half-sheet pans or large baking sheets. Discard the chicken marinade.
  • Roast for 40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and lightly browned and the juices run clear when the thighs are pricked with the tip of a small knife. Transfer the pieces to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • While the chicken is roasting, make the sauce. Boil the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over high heat until it is reduced to 1 cup. Whisk in the reserved 1 cup Spicy Yogurt Marinade and cook just until heated through. Do not boil, or the yogurt will separate. Keep the sauce warm.
  • As soon as the chickens are done, preheat the broiler. Toss the chiles with the oil to coat lightly and spread them out on a broiler rack or small baking sheet. Broil the chiles about 4 inches from the heat, turning them a couple of times, until they are blistered and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, layer the chicken and chiles on a large platter. Pour the sauce around the chicken. Top with the Fried Rice Noodles. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the chicken.
  • To make the marinade, grind the peppercorns, cumin, coriander seeds, and cardamom in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Add the hot sauce, yogurt, cream, and soy sauce and whisk until smooth and well blended.
  • Add vegetable oil to reach about 2 inches up the sides of a large saucepan or a wok. Heat the oil over high heat to 340 degrees F. Separate 1 bundle of thin rice noodles into 2 portions. Working with 1 portion at a time, add the noodles to the oil. They will puff up almost immediately. Using a large wire skimmer, transfer to paper towels to drain.

ANGRY CHICKEN



Angry Chicken image

Got this recipe from a friend of mine, just because the name was funny. When I went to make it, I thought I had made a mistake in writing down the amount of cajun seasoning, so I called her to make sure. She said, "of course it's right. That's why the chicken is angry!". Well, it turned out really good, so I hope you like it, too. Don't be afraid of the spice - it's really not very hot.

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 2

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing

Steps:

  • To Marinate: Pour salad dressing into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add chicken breasts, seal bag and shake to coat. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight (the longer you marinate, the more taste the chicken will absorb).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Select the Right Cut of Chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the chicken in batches to ensure even browning and prevent steaming.
  • Use a Well-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet: Cast iron skillets retain heat well and create a beautiful sear on the chicken.
  • Make Sure the Chicken is Dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking to promote browning.
  • Don't Move the Chicken Around: Allow the chicken to cook undisturbed for several minutes to develop a golden crust.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is cooked safely.
  • Make the Sauce While the Chicken Cooks: Use the time while the chicken is cooking to prepare the flavorful tomato sauce.
  • Balance the Flavors: Use a combination of sweet, sour, and spicy ingredients to create a well-balanced sauce.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Top the chicken with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
