Chicken With Hot Cherry Peppers Recipes

PAN BRAISED CHICKEN AND HOT CHERRY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and the dry oregano. In a large straight-sided saute pan or chicken fryer heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken to the hot oil and brown all sides well. While the chicken is cooking drain the peppers, cut them into quarters, and discard the stem and seeds. In a separate saucepan heat the broth and keep warm. Drain, carefully, all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the chicken and add the onions. Cook the onions to golden brown. Add the peppers to the onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the broth and tomato and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Braise the chicken, onions and peppers for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Just before serving, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and cook the noodles until tender. Drain the noodles, toss with butter and place on a large platter. Serve the chicken over the noodles and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top.;

CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium high heat. Cut chicken into large chunks and season with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil to the hot pan, 1 turn in a slow stream. Set chicken into pan and do not turn for 2 or 3 minutes or you will tear the meat. Brown chicken 3 minutes on each side and then remove all of the chicken to a warm plate. Add bell peppers, hot peppers and garlic to the pan. Saute the peppers and garlic for 5 minutes, tossing and turning them frequently. Add wine to the pan and reduce 1 minute. Scrape up the pan drippings. Add the chicken stock and bring it up to a bubble. Set the chicken back into the pan. Toss the parsley with the chicken and peppers and cook the chicken through, 2 or 3 minutes. Scatter a little hot pepper juice over the pan and serve the Scarpariello over a bed of lemon orzo. WOW!
• Cook orzo in salted water about 12 minutes, to al dente. Drain orzo well. Do not run under cold water. You want the cooked pasta to remain hot. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl. Drizzle orzo with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest and parsley and toss to combine the flavors with the pasta.

CHICKEN WITH SAUSAGE AND HOT CHERRY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot; reduce the heat to medium-high and add the chicken to the skillet skin-side down. Sauté until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Place the chicken, skin-side up, on a rimmed baking sheet; place in the center of the oven and bake 25 minutes or until just cooked through.
• Meanwhile, add the sausage to the skillet in which you cooked the chicken. Cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add the peppers and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and artichoke hearts and cook 5 minutes.
• Whisk together 2 tablespoons of water and the flour; whisk into the sausage mixture and cook until thickened. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Stir any juices that have collected on the baking sheet into the sauce. Return the sauce to a boil and spoon over the chicken.
