Chicken and Capers in Tomato Sauce image

If you like tons of sauce then double all ingredients, this can also be cooked in the oven instead of on top of the stove using an oven proof skillet, this is even better better the second day! --- see my recipe#136292

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (skin on or off)
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (can use more)
1/3 cup olive oil (more as needed)
1 lb button mushroom (use small mushrooms or larger ones, sliced)
2 medium green bell peppers, diced (or use one of each, green and red)
1 large onion, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
1 -2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 -2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry red wine or 1/2 cup marsala
3 -4 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • Season the chicken pieces with seasoning salt (or regular salt) and pepper.
  • Place the flour in a heavy plastic bag; add in chicken pieces and coat completely with flour.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat (I use my large electric frypan for this).
  • Add in the chicken pieces to the skillet and brown for about 4 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Pour off some of the fat, and leave a little in the skillet.
  • Add in mushrooms, green bell peppers, chopped garlic, onion, crushed red pepper flakes and oregano; saute until onion is tender (about 10 minutes).
  • Add/mix in marinara sauce, chicken broth, wine and capers.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, tossing the sauce over the chicken; bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat to medium low.
  • Cover skillet and simmer until chicken is tender (about 35 minutes, or more).
  • Using long tongs transfer the chicken to a large serving platter.
  • Boil the sauce until slightly thickened (about another 5 minutes).
  • Spoon the sauce over chicken.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Delicious!

This dish was a flop. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.

The sauce was a bit too watery for my liking. I'll try simmering it for longer next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used a jar of roasted red peppers instead. It turned out great!

I added some chopped spinach to the sauce and it was a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables.

Not a fan of capers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think the capers would have added a nice briny flavor.

I substituted chicken thighs for the breasts and it turned out great! The thighs were more flavorful and juicy.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more moisture to the chicken next time.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the tomato sauce was flavorful and tangy. The capers added a nice briny flavor that complemented the other ingredients perfectly.
