The lower the heat, the longer the cooking time and the more tender and juicy the chicken will be. Serve with linguini: place a portion of pasta on a large plate and pile the chicken mixture on top with juices and the chunks of good stuff.

Provided by Laura Del Savio

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 (4 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs
2 tablespoons sofrito
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more if needed
1 (8 ounce) package baby portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 (10 ounce) bag baby spinach
4 plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
¾ cup Cabernet Sauvignon
2 cups chicken broth, or as needed
½ cup pine nuts (pignoli)
1 (8 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken thighs and cook, turning occasionally, until fully browned and garlic has burned slightly, about 10 minutes; the burnt garlic will add to the smoky flavor of the dish.
  • Add sofrito to the skillet and stir until chicken is coated in sofrito and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Turn heat to low and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are slightly brown, adding a bit more oil if pan gets too dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and chicken, garlic, and sofrito mixture from the skillet; stir to mix.
  • Return the skillet to the stove and turn heat to high. Pour Cabernet Sauvignon into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Transfer wine glaze to the Dutch oven; mix to combine. Add 2 cups chicken broth or more to fully cover the chicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour.
  • Shortly before serving, place pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add pine nuts to the chicken mixture. Stir in artichoke hearts and allow to heat for 1 minute prior to serving.

PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Plum Glazed Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by sherryl61

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can Oregon Purple Plums (or other variety if you have them)
2 T margarine
1 onion, finely chopped
1/3 C brown sugar
1/4 C prepared tomato-based chili sauce
2 T soy sauce
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp lemon juice
2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken (I have also used a whole chicken cut up)

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2.Drain the plums and reserve the syrup. Remove the pits from the plums. 3.In a blender or food processor, whirl the plums and syrup until pureed if a thinner consistency desired; I prefer to puree half the plums with the syrup and coarsely chop the rest of the plums and add to the puree. I like it chunky. 4.Melt margarine in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. 5.Stir in the plum puree, brown sugar, chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger and lemon juice. 6.Cook, uncovered, stirring often until slightly thickened. About 15 minutes. (I have also not cooked it at all and just dumped the mixture over the chicken and baked all together. The sauce is thinner but still tastes great!) 7.Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken in a lightly greased baking pan. 8.Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, basting with plum sauce every 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake, basting occasionally, for 30 more minutes. (I have also just browned the chicken and thrown it in a crock pot and added the sauce, cooking it on low for 4-6 hours). 9.Heat the remaining sauce and pass it at the table.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1 cup water
4 plum tomatoes - cored, seeded, and chopped
2 tablespoons pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
4 cups water
1 ½ teaspoons salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup yellow cornmeal
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Reduce skillet heat to medium-low and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add garlic and cook until soft, about 30 seconds. Add chickpeas and 1 cup water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes to the simmering skillet and cook until soft and starting to fall apart, 4 to 5 minutes. Add olives, vinegar, and browned chicken and toss until heated through and chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring water, salt, and pepper for polenta to a boil over high heat. Add cornmeal slowly while whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, whisking frequently, until thickened, 10 to 13 minutes. Remove from heat; add Parmesan cheese and butter and stir until smooth.
  • Add parsley to chicken mixture and plate with polenta.

Tips:

  • Choose the right plums: Look for ripe, firm plums that are not too soft or bruised. Freestone plums are easiest to work with, as they have a pit that easily separates from the flesh.
  • Prepare the plums: Wash the plums and cut them into wedges or slices. If using freestone plums, remove the pit before cutting.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken: The chicken can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as grilling, roasting, or pan-frying. Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through.
  • Add the plums: Once the chicken is cooked, add the plums and cook until they are softened. You can also add other vegetables, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Serve the chicken: Serve the chicken and plums over rice or noodles. You can also garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.
