CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PEPPERS, TOMATOES AND SAFFRON



Chicken Breasts With Peppers, Tomatoes and Saffron image

Portugal launched great explorations in the 15th and 16th centuries, often in search of spices, and to a large extent, their discoveries defined their national cuisines. They discovered Madeira, the Azores and the Cape Verde Islands. Vasco da Gama, seeking a sea route to India, brought back one of most important spices of all, black pepper. Exploration of the New World turned up sweet and hot peppers, corn, all varieties of beans, tomatoes, vanilla, avocados, chocolate, squashes and guavas (from which chewing gum is made). These discoveries truly revolutionized the kitchens of Europe. This dish has a sauce based on tomatoes and is typical of casseroles found in Portugal. First the peppers, onions and garlic are sautéed in olive oil. Tomatoes and saffron, another spice associated with the Iberian peninsula, are added to this mixture. The chicken is browned first, then slowly cooked. The pan is deglazed with chicken stock and white wine before the other ingredients are combined.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups cored seeded sweet red, green and yellow peppers, cut into thin strips
1 cup thinly sliced onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon saffron stems or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium high heat in a skillet. Add the peppers, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes or until crisp tender. Then add the tomatoes and saffron. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken breasts in one layer. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces, reduce the heat and cook about 5 minutes or until done. Do not overcook. Transfer the chicken to a warm platter and keep it warm.
  • Add the shallots to the skillet and cook until wilted. Do not brown. Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula to dissolve any brown particles that may cling to the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the wine almost completely and add the chicken broth. Let this cook until it is almost totally reduced. Add the chicken breasts and any liquid that may have accumulated. Add the pepper and tomato mixture, bring to a simmer and add the parsley. Serve with rice.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH TOMATOES AND CAPERS



Chicken Breasts With Tomatoes and Capers image

This recipe was originally developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column, a weekly feature dedicated to Times-worthy dishes that were easy, quick and inexpensive. This recipe fit the bill perfectly, and it still does. Just sauté the chicken breasts until they are lightly browned. Then add shallots and garlic, tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, white wine and tomato paste. Stir well and cook for about 9 minutes more. That's it.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon, or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
8 ripe plum tomatoes cut into small cubes (or one 28-ounce can of tomatoes, drained and chopped)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup drained capers
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy-bottom skillet. Add the chicken breasts and saute over medium-high heat, turning the pieces often until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the shallots and garlic around the chicken. Cook briefly; add the tarragon, tomatoes, vinegar, capers, wine and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles adhering to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Blend well, bring to a boil, and then cover and simmer for 9 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your dish will be.
  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice for this recipe. Make sure they are of even thickness so that they cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook it over high heat, the outside will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This tender tomato chicken breast recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the tomato sauce is tangy and delicious. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
