Baked Chicken With Tomatoes And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Finely grate 1 garlic clove into a small bowl and toss with Aleppo-style pepper, soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. oil. Rub all over chicken, then season with salt and black pepper.
• Toss tomatoes, thyme, olives, 3 Tbsp. oil, and remaining 8 garlic cloves in a 3-qt. baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Arrange chicken on top of tomato mixture and roast until deeply browned and cooked through, 40-50 minutes. When chicken is about 5 minutes from being done, drizzle baguette with oil and season with salt. Place in oven directly on rack next to chicken and toast until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Slice each piece in half. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
• Carve chicken as desired and serve piled atop toast with tomato mixture and pan juices spooned over.

Steps:

• In a large skillet brown chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside. Add onion to skillet. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally and adding garlic the last 1 minute of cooking.
• Stir tomatoes, olives, capers, lemon peel, and oregano into onion mixture. Place chicken on tomato mixture. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 13-15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F).
• To serve place chicken on platter. Season tomato mixture to taste with salt and black pepper. Spoon tomato mixture over chicken Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish combine two tablespoons of the olive oil with half the garlic, the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken breasts, turning them in the dish so they are coated with the marinade. Arrange them in a single layer in the dish, cover with plastic wrap and allow them to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet. Add onion and remaining garlic and saute until tender but not brown. Add tomatoes and olives and allow to cook about 15 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken. Stir in half the parsley and the thyme and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spread the tomato mixture over the marinated chicken breasts. Place in oven and bake about 20 minutes, until the chicken is done. Remove from oven and baste to combine juices in bottom of the pan with the tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook undisturbed, adjusting the heat so the chicken doesn't burn, until the pieces are browned on the bottom and release easily from the skillet, 5 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking, turning the chicken every few minutes, until it's brown all over, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
• Add the onions and capers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes; cook until the mixture starts to bubble and the tomatoes thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and let the mixture bubble for another 2 minutes.
• Add the olives and thyme, and return the chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces into the sauce. Adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently but steadily, then cover the skillet. Cook, turning the chicken every 10 minutes or so and adding a splash of stock or water if the sauce looks too dry, until the chicken is tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 155 to 165). Taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the parsley, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. and oil a 13-by 9-inch shallow baking pan.
• Mince and mash 2 garlic cloves to a paste with salt. In a small bowl whisk together garlic paste, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons oil with salt and pepper to taste. In pan make 2 beds of overlapping lemon slices and put a chicken breast half, skin side up, on each bed. Brush chicken generously with some of the garlic lemon mixture and season with salt and pepper.
• Quarter potatoes and in a bowl toss with tomatoes, remaining 5 whole garlic cloves, and remaining tablespoon oil until coated well. Arrange vegetables around chicken and sprinkle chicken with olives and rosemary.
• Roast chicken and vegetables in middle of oven 15 minutes and brush with remaining garlic lemon mixture. Roast chicken 10 to 15 minutes more, or until a meat thermometer registers 175°F. and chicken is cooked through.
• Discard lemon slices and serve chicken with vegetables, spooning any pan juices over them.
