CHICKEN IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Provided by Deborah Mele

Categories     Poultry

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Green Tops From 4 Scallion Onions
5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
8 Medium Sized Chicken Thighs, or One (3 pound) Chicken Cut Into Pieces
1 Small Onion, Peeled and Finely Diced
5 Cloves Garlic, Peeled and Minced
1 Red Chili Pepper, Finely Minced
3/4 Cup Dry White Wine
1 1/2 Cups Chopped Tomatoes
1 Teaspoon Oregano
1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
Sea Salt and Pepper to Taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottom pan, and once hot, brown half the chicken pieces on each side until golden brown over medium high heat, about 3 to 4 minutes each side.
  • Brown the rest of the chicken pieces and then move all to a plate.
  • Add the chopped onion to the pan, and cook over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and chili pepper to the pan and cook another minute or two until fragrant.
  • Add the wine to the pan and turn the heat up to high.
  • Use a fork to scrape up any brown bits off the bottom of the pan, and cook until the wine has reduced by 1/3 volume.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan along with the tomatoes, dried oregano, and parsley.
  • Season with salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about an hour.
  • Remove the cover, and cook an additional 15 to 20.
  • At this point, the sauce should have thickened and the chicken should be so tender it falls off the bone.
  • Alternately, instead of cooking the chicken on the stovetop, you could place the pot with the chicken and sauce in an oven preheated to 350 degrees F. and cook for an hour and a half, then uncover and cook an additional 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
  • To serve, place the chicken on a warmed platter and spoon the sauce over top.
  • Sprinkle with the chopped onions and serve immediately.

250g cheddar cheese, grated
olive oil
salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a few lugs of the olive oil in a large pan on a med-high heat then add the onions, garlic, peppers and chilli powder. Fry for about 5 minutes, or until onions are softened and pale (not golden).
  • Add the chicken, with a pinch of salt and pepper, to the pan and cook until all the chicken is sealed, but not browning.
  • Keep on the heat and add the tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, juice of 1/2 a lemon, the chilli flakes and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Give a good stir and turn the heat up high. Let the sauce reach a boil and then reduce the heat to a med-low setting. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • With about 15 minutes left to cook, put on some pasta . I recommend a tagliatelle, fusilli, conchiglie or penne.
  • Once the sauce has been on for a good 45 minutes and has reduced slightly, remove from the heat and add the cheese. Stir to make sure it has melted through the sauce. Then drain off the pasta and add the the pot with the sauce, give a good stir to mix the pasta. Serve in a bowl, or high-edged plate, with some garlic bread on the side.
