Chicken Scarpariello Rachael Ray Recipes

CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO

Steps:

• Make the Potatoes: Adjust 2 oven racks to the upper and lower thirds position and preheat it to 450°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the cut potatoes (1 1/2 pounds) with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil then generously season them with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven, on the lower rack, until browned and tender, about 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the chicken; Pat the chicken pieces (2 1/2 pounds) dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When it begins to shimmer, add the chicken, skin side down, and cook without moving until well browned about 3-5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brown on the other side, adjusting the heat as needed, for about 3 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside. Leave the oil in the skillet.
• Add sausage (8 ounces) to skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking it up into 1/2 inch pieces, until it's browned about 3 minutes. Remove sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Remove skillet from heat and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the onions (1), red bell pepper (1), and garlic (6 cloves) and cook, stirring occasionally, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until the vegetables are soft, for 10-12 minutes. Add the wine (1 cup) and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has evaporated about 8 minutes. Add stock (1 cup), Peppadews (1/2 cup), vinegar (1/4 cup), and rosemary (4 sprigs), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and vigorously simmer until slightly reduced about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken back to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and nestle pieces into the onion mixture. Place uncovered in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add sausage to the pan, push them down into the onion mixture and continue to roast until the chicken is cooked through about 5-10 minutes, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together the flour and oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Rinse and dry the chicken pieces, and then dredge them lightly in the seaoned flour mixture. In a heavy, ovenproof skillet, large enough to hold all of the chicken pieces, heat the olive oil, and then brown the chicken well on all sides over medium heat. Be careful not to burn the oil by using too hot of heat. Once all of the pieces are well browned, remove them to a plate. Pour out the left over oil in the pan, leaving just a tablespoon or two with the browned bits at the bottom. Add the onion and cook until soft, and then add the garic. As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle, add the wine, and stir the browned bits at the bottom while you reduce the wine by half over medium high heat. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Break up the rosemary into pieces, and add it to the sauce. Return the chicken pieces to the skillet, and spoon the sauce over top. Bake the chicken until done, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a warmed platter, and bring the remaining sauce to a boil. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix the tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Add the remaining butter to the sauce in the skillet, and mix well. Remove the rosemary pieces from the sauce. If the sauce is thin, stir in a little of the flour and butter mixture, wisking continuously to prevent lumps. Once the sauce has thickened, add the chopped parsley, and pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN SCARPIELLO

Steps:

• Coat a large, wide pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown well. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• Season the chicken generously with salt and add to the pan that the sausage was browned in. Brown the chicken well. Once the chicken is brown on all sides, remove it from the pan and reserve.
• Drain the oil from the pan and return it to the heat. Coat the pan lightly with new olive oil, add the onions, and season with salt. Cook the onions over medium heat until they are translucent and very aromatic, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Add the wine to the pan and reduce it by half. While the wine is reducing, scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the sausage and chicken to the pan and add the cherry peppers, cherry pepper juice, chicken stock, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for 5 more minutes; add more chicken stock if the stock has reduced too much.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. The finished dish should be slightly soupy, spicy, and delicious.
