Chicken Puttanesca pt 2/2

Yield2 servings

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat up a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients over medium high heat.

  2. 2

    Season your chicken thighs on both sides with kosher salt.

  3. 3

    Add the olive oil and sear off the chicken thighs on both sides.

  4. 4

    Once seared but not cooked all the way through, take the thighs out of the pan and set aside.

  5. 5

    With the same pan you cooked the chicken in, bring it back to medium heat with the same fat from the chicken and sweat your onions.

  6. 6

    Use a bamboo spoon to scrape the fond off the pan.

  7. 7

    Once the onions are translucent, add your anchovy filets and let melt into the pan.

  8. 8

    Add your sliced garlic, chili flakes, tomato paste and white wine.

  9. 9

    Add your can of tomatoes and break them up in the pan.

  10. 10

    Add the olives and capers and let the sauce get up to a simmer.

  11. 11

    Nestle the chicken thighs back in the sauce and let them finish cooking until your desired doneness.

  12. 12

    Adjust the sauce with salt if necessary, or a touch of sugar if needing to be balanced.

  13. 13

    Reduce it if needed if too liquidy! It’ll only intensify with time


Notes

Enjoy with fresh lemon, Italian parsley and a LIBERAL blanket of shaved or grated parmigiano.
