Easy Chicken Marengo Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces skin-side down. Cook until golden brown on one side, about five minutes. Turn the pieces and cook on the other side about two minutes. Pour off the fat from the skillet.
• Scatter the mushrooms over the chicken. Stir to distribute. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf and thyme and cook about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth and parsley. Bring to the boil. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Serve with rice and a tossed green salad.

Steps:

• Mix tomato soup and golden cream of mushroom soup in a medium bowl. Stir in onions and garlic. Set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over Medium/High heat.
• Add chicken and cook until slightly browned. About 4 minutes. Flip and brown the other side.
• Pour soup mixture over chicken.
• Cover and cook over Medium/Low heat for 40 minutes, stirring and spooning mixture over chicken occasionally.
• After 40 minutes, uncover and continue to cook until desired consistency.
• Serve over noodles or rice.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pat chicken dry, then combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large sealable plastic bag and add chicken. Seal bag and shake to coat, then remove chicken, knocking off excess flour. Arrange in 1 layer on a plate.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chicken, smooth sides down, until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn over and sauté 1 minute more. Scatter mushrooms around chicken and transfer skillet to oven, then bake, uncovered, until chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate, then add shallot, garlic, and thyme to skillet (handle will be hot) and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, demi-glace, and water and simmer until mushrooms are tender and sauce is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with pepper.
• Return chicken to skillet and simmer, turning, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, except for the chicken, in a bowl.
• Put chicken parts in a pyrex baking dish and pour the soup blend over the chicken.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare a box of linguine or any other pasta to serve with the chicken and drain.
• There will be a lot of sauce to serve with the chicken and pasta. Hope you like it.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and stir-fry the mushrooms until they start to soften. Add the chicken legs and cook briefly on each side to colour them a little.
• Pour in the passata, crumble in the stock cube and stir in the olives. Season with black pepper - you shouldn't need salt. Cover and simmer for 40 mins until the chicken is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta and a salad, or mash and green veg, if you like.
