Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 lbs chicken pieces
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, finely chopped
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup dry port wine or 1/2 cup madeira wine
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1/4 tsp dried)

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy baking dish over moderate heat and brown the chicken on all sides.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Saute the onions in the same baking dish until tender but not brown, about 10 minutes.

  • Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and add the peas about 15 minutes before serving.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and I used it to make this dish. It was delicious!

This dish was a little bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used salted butter instead of unsalted butter. Other than that, the dish was very good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the peas were cooked perfectly.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoyed this dish. I used tofu instead of chicken and it turned out great. The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The peas were cooked perfectly and had a nice sweetness to them.
