Chicken And Sausage In Tomato Sauce Recipes

EASY CHICKEN IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat large skillet on medium high heat.
• While skillet heats, rub chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place prepared chicken into skillet and do not touch for 3-4 minutes or until chicken releases easily from the pan and forms a nice crust.
• Remove seared to chicken and set aside. (the chicken will not be fully cooked but will continue to cook in the tomato sauce later).
• Reduce heat of skillet to medium. Add one tablespoon of olive oil. Add onion and saute until translucence. 3-4 minutes. Add chopped garlic and cook an additional minutes.
• Add crushed tomatoes, drained diced roasted tomatoes, heavy cream and italian seasoning to skillet. Bring to a simmer. Add chicken back to pan and simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken reaches 165 degrees.
• Prepare pasta or rice according to package directions and serve with sauce and chicken. Sprinkle with grated parmesan if desired.

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE RECIPE WITH PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place baby potatoes in a cast-iron skillet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside when time is up. Note: the potatoes will finish cooking later in the sauce.
• Meanwhile, season chicken thighs with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch heavy-bottomed sauté (or deep) pan over medium heat on the stovetop.Note: The pan should have a lid for use later.
• Place the chicken in the pan and brown for 5 to 7 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken to the other side and brown for another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Note: Chicken is not cooked at this point, we're just adding a little colour to it.
• Add the sausages to the pan and brown for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Flip the sausages and brown on the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate and set aside. Note: Sausages are not cooked at this point.
• Remove any excess oil from the pan. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onion and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.
• Deglaze with chicken broth (loosening up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan from the chicken and sausages with a wooden spoon) and cook until the broth is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add peppers, mushrooms, cooked potatoes, herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Make a little space in the centre of the pan by pushing veggies to one side. Add tomato paste and stir in.
• Add tomatoes and stir.
• Place reserved chicken and sausages (and any juices) back into pan, tucking into the sauce and covering with it. Bring to a simmer (you want to maintain a gentle bubbling as it cooks) and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring about halfway so the sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, for 30 to 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken and sausages are fully cooked through (the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit when checked with an instant-read meat thermometer). I actually enjoy dark meat chicken cooked a little longer, about an internal temperature of 175 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit or so.Note: To check the internal temperature of the chicken, insert the instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, all the way to the middle, without touching any bone, fat or gristle. To check the internal temperature of the sausage, insert the instant-read meat thermometer into the end of the sausage. Remove the thermometer from the food after checking the temperature.
• Stir in balsamic vinegar. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired, to taste.
• Garnish with parsley and Parmesan. Serve and enjoy! Great with a hunk of crusty bread to soak up that delicious sauce.

CHICKEN WITH RED CHILE SAUCE AND SAUSAGE (POLLO CON SALSA ROJO Y CHORIZO)

Steps:

• Remove the stems, seeds, and membranes from the ancho chiles and guajillo chiles, then soak in hot water until softened, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove the stems from the tomatoes, then cut a shallow X on the bottom. Drop the tomatoes into the water, and cook uncovered until the skin begins to peel off, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the tomatoes are cold, peel the skin off. Drain chiles and transfer to a blender along with the peeled tomatoes, garlic, onion, and chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
• Heat 1/2 of the corn oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chile mixture, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt. Heat the remaining corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken legs in 2 batches and remove from the skillet.
• Stir the chorizo into the same skillet; cook and stir until the chorizo is evenly browned. Drain any excess oil and stir in 1 cup of the chile sauce. Return the chicken to the skillet, along with the remaining chile sauce. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until chicken is tender, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
