Went to my friends new apt for dinner tonight. Ordering out was mentioned but then I was like, "Wait - does your stove work?" To which I was replied with, "Yes." And I was like, "I'm cooking!!" Man, it felt good to cook on the stove again. I wanted to make something healthy and I found Giada's recipe on Food Network. It sounded good and it was delicious. My sous chef isn't a huge fan of peppers or tomatoes and he loved this. So simple too - one skillet meal, yo!
Ingredients
4 skinless chicken breast halves, with ribs
2 skinless chicken thighs, with bones*
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus 1 teaspoon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
3 ounces prosciutto, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Directions
Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside. *I used 4 chicken breasts without skin and bones. It came out superb. Just reduced my cooking time by 10 - 15 minutes.
Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. (I forgot the capers - but it came out fine without them). Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve. I served mine with rice. It soaked up all the sauce perfectly.
