Portuguese Chicken image

This is from Bon Appetit. I substitute turkey bacon for the prosciutto, as we are non-red meat eaters, and it is still scrumptious! For a faster meal, I have used only bone-in thighs, to cut down on mess and fuss.

Time 2h40m

Yield 1 pot, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup flour, all-purpose
1 tablespoon paprika, sweet Hungarian
1/4 teaspoon paprika, sweet Hungarian
1 three pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomatoes, diced in juice
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced, chopped
12 cipolline onions or inch-diameter white pearl onion, blanched 1 minute, peeled
2 roasted red peppers, large, from jar, halved, cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips
6 garlic cloves, large, pressed
4 sprigs parsley, fresh large Italian
4 bay leaves, large, fresh, bruised
1/2 cup port wine, tawny
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in large bowl. Add chicken pieces to seasoned flour, 1 at a time, and turn to coat. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and saute until brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate; reserve skillet.
  • Arrange chicken in single layer in large ovenproof pot. Top with tomatoes and juice, prosciutto, onions, peppers, garlic, parsley, and bay leaves; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Add wine and Port to reserved skillet. Bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Remove from heat. Whisk in mustard and tomato paste; pour mixture over chicken and bring to boil. Cover; transfer to oven.
  • Braise chicken until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Discard bay leaves and parsley. Using tongs, transfer chicken and toppings to platter. Return sauce in pot to simmer. If thicker sauce is desired, stir 1 tablespoon flour and butter in small bowl until smooth paste forms. Add flour paste to sauce and whisk to blend. Simmer until sauce thickens to desired consistency, whisking often. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon over chicken and serve.

I'm a Portuguese chef, and I can tell you that this recipe is not authentic. The ingredients and flavors are all wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who wants to try real Portuguese chicken.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was tough and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've tried this recipe twice now, and both times it's been a disaster. The chicken is always overcooked and the sauce is too thin. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
