Braised Chicken With Gratin Tomatoes Recipes

WHITE WINE TOMATO BRAISED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Add mustard and fennel seeds to toast; cook and stir until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Transfer from hot pan to avoid over-toasting. Crush toasted seeds and set aside.
• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in the same skillet on medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches, 5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet; cover and keep warm.
• Add onion; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until softened. Add minced garlic and cook stirring for 2 minutes. Stir in wine, parsley, tomatoes, crushed toasted seeds and chicken. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low; cover. Let simmer on low for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• If serving right away, remove cover and simmer an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. If time permits, cover and transfer to warm oven (about 250-degrees F) to continue to braise for 2-3 hours until ready to serve.
• Serve over rice or pasta, if desired.

• START COOKING
• Scrub the potatoes clean, finely slice in the processor, then tip into the medium pan and cover with boiling water and the lid.
• Peel the onions, finely slice in the processor, then tip into the roasting tray with 2 tablespoons of oil, crumble in the stock cube and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Tear in the sage leaves and stir regularly, adding a splash of water if they start to catch.
• On a large sheet of greaseproof paper, toss the chicken with salt, pepper and the rosemary leaves, then fold the paper over and bash and flatten the chicken to 1.5cm thick with a rolling pin.
• Put into the frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, turning after 3 or 4 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
• Drain the potatoes well in a colander, then tip into the onion pan, stir together and arrange in a flat layer. Pour over the cream, then finely grate over the Parmesan and pop under the grill on the top shelf.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS AND LEGS WITH TOMATO

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Arrange the chicken thighs and legs on a tray in a single layer and season them with salt, to taste. Turn the pieces on their other side and season again. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, carefully add the chicken to the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Resist the temptation to move or turn the pieces. Allow them to brown on their first side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use metal tongs to turn the chicken pieces to sear their second side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a tray and set it aside.
• In the same skillet, add the cumin seeds and chili flakes, stirring rapidly to give them a quick toast, about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the onions, ginger and garlic and stir to combine. Season the ingredients with salt, to taste, then add the tomatoes, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Allow the mixture to cook and all the flavors to come together, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan, keep the heat low and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes. (Chef's note: If the sauce becomes overly thick or begins to stick to the bottom of the skillet, feel free to add some water, about 1/2 cup at a time.)
• When the chicken is cooked through, remove and discard the cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Taste for seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve alongside the braised cabbage, if desired.

Add half the chicken and sauté on both sides, flipping once, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and repeat with the remaining chicken. Set aside.
• Add the onion to the pot and sauté until just beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin and oregano, stir for 30 seconds, then add the puréed tomato-pepper mixture, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining chopped tomatoes, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot (push the chicken down into the sauce so it is well covered).
• Cover the pot and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Add the greens and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Set skillet with pan drippings aside. Nestle potatoes and shallots around chicken (don't place on top). Pour brown butter cream over chicken and vegetables, making sure herbs and spices are evenly dispersed and tucking herbs into vegetables so they don't get too crispy when they bake.
