Braised Spanish Chicken With Peppers Recipes

SPANISH-STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and paprika. Heat an ovenproof 12-inch skillet or shallow braising pan over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil. Working in 2 batches, add chicken to pan and cook until well browned, about 2 minutes on each side, adding more oil as needed. Transfer chicken as it is browned to a plate.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in garlic, then tomato paste, scraping up browned bits in pan with a wooden spoon. Return chicken to skillet, increase heat to high, and pour in vinegar. Boil, stirring, until reduced to a glaze.
• Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Add peppers and olives. Transfer to oven and braise until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (do not touch bone) reaches 160 degrees and liquid is reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

SPANISH CHICKEN AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C.
• Add the olive oil to a large, oven-safe skillet/pan and warm over a medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook 2 minutes, then transfer to another dish using a slotted spoon.
• Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet/pan and cook for about 8 minutes stirring every so often. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic and paprika to the onion mixture and cook another 2 minutes, then transfer the onion mixture to the dish with the chorizo.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper then add the chicken thighs to the skillet/pan, skin side down and cook 7-10 minutes to sear the skin. Once the skin has turned golden brown, flip over and cook another 7 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet/pan and set aside.
• Pour the oil remaining in the pan out then return it to the heat. Add the red wine, stock and bay leaf. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any sticky bits.
• Add the chorizo and onion mixture back to the pan along with thyme, turn the heat up high and bring the mixture to a light boil then reduce the temperature to maintain a simmer. Let simmer 10 minutes to reduce the liquids.
• Add the chicken back to the pan, skin-side up. Transfer to the oven and let cook uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the chicken has fully cooked through (internal temperature should be at least 165°F/74°C).
• Remove from the oven, season with additional salt, pepper and thyme if needed and enjoy.
