Chicken Thighs And Mushrooms In Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large (5-quart) saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high heat; swirl to coat bottom of pan. Cook chicken, turning when it easily releases from the pan, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add mushrooms; cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, and oregano. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, until tomatoes have broken down, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan; cover, and cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn chicken to coat with sauce, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the pancetta and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until the pancetta crisps, about 3 minutes. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon, reserve the oil in the pan. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and add skinned side down to the pan, and brown, in batches if needed, over high heat, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add a tablespoon of oil and the mushrooms to the skillet and cook, without stirring until beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Shake pan and continue to cook the mushrooms until evenly golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Add the onion, garlic, marjoram, and pepper flakes; cook stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon until fragrant. Crush the tomatoes through your fingers and add to the pot; cook until brick red. Stir in the tomato juices. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Return the chicken and pancetta to the pan and cook it in the oven until the meat is cooked through and tender about 30 minutes more.
• Divide the chicken evenly among 4 plates, cover loosely with foil. With a large spoon or ladle, skim any fat off the surface of the sauce and discard. Stir the cheese and parsley into the sauce, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Divide the oil between 2 skillets, and heat it over medium-to-high heat until it is hot. Add the chicken in one layer to the skillets. Sprinkle half the salt over the chicken pieces, and brown them for 5 minutes on one side, then for 5 minutes on the other side.
• Remove the chicken to a platter, and add the onions to the drippings in the skillets. Cook about 2 minutes over high heat to brown the onions lightly. Add the garlic, and cook about 30 seconds longer.
• If using canned tomatoes, divide the tomatoes and their juice between the 2 skillets, breaking up the tomatoes with the edge of the spoon as you mix them in. If using fresh tomato pieces, divide them between the skillets, and add 1/4 cup of water to each skillet. Mix well and bring to a boil.
• Return the chicken pieces to the skillets. Add the remaining salt and the pepper to the mixture, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and boil gently for 10 minutes.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter or divide it among six individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle the chopped herbs on top, and serve.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet cook the bacon until browned (about 7-8 minutes) transfer to paper towels (reserving the fat in the skillet).
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Brown the chicken in the bacon fat over medium heat (about 8 minutes per side) transfer to a plate.
• Pour off some of the fat in the skillet, then add in the onions, green bell pepper, mushrooms and dried chili flakes; saute for about 10-12 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (adding in the garlic the last few minutes, then continue to cook for a couple minutes more, the onions and mushrooms should be light brown).
• Add in the bacon back to the skillet, along with the stewed tomatoes with juice and the wine; bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add in the drained beans mix to combine, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add/nestle in the browned chicken thighs skin side up in the mixture.
• Bake uncovered in a 350 degree F oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and serve.
• Delicious!
