Grilled Garlic Chicken With Bell Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grate for just 3 to 4 seconds). Stir together 2 minced garlic cloves, the marjoram, 2 teaspoons oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Place chicken in a shallow dish, and coat both sides with garlic mixture. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• Toss bell peppers with remaining garlic and 1 teaspoon oil in a medium bowl. Grill peppers, turning, until tender and blackened in places, about 15 minutes. Remove peppers from grill, and return to the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar; toss to combine. Set aside.
• Cover potatoes with 2 inches cold water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; return to dry saucepan until ready to use.
• Grill the chicken, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove chicken from grill, and arrange on a serving platter with peppers and potatoes. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and oil, if desired. Garnish with marjoram sprigs; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk dressing, rosemary and garlic to blend in large bowl. Add chicken and all bell peppers and toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour or cover and chill up to 1 day, tossing occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Drain marinade and discard. Grill or broil chicken and bell pepper until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Mound rice in center of platter. Arrange chicken and peppers decoratively around rice and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chicken pieces, in batches, on each side for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate. Pour off the fat from the pan and discard.
• Turn the heat down to medium. Add the olive oil and the onion with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, until the onions begin to soften. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the hot and sweet peppers, a bit of salt and the garlic, and cook, stirring, until the peppers begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and sugar and stir together until the tomatoes begin to bubble and smell fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover and cook 25 to 30 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring at regular intervals and turning the chicken pieces over so that the ingredients don't scorch and the chicken cooks evenly. The peppers should be very soft and the chicken quite tender. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust the salt, and serve with rice, other grains of your choice or noodles.

Steps:

• Start the chicken: Pat chicken dry and place in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add garlic, rosemary, red-pepper flakes, lemon zest and juice. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss the thighs to coat, using hands to smear the mixture evenly over the chicken. Let marinate for 1 hour at room temperature, or, if time permits, overnight in the refrigerator.
• Make the peppers: Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, wide skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. When oil begins to look wavy, add onions and stir to coat. When the onions begin to soften (don't let them brown), add peppers and stir to combine. Season well with salt and pepper, and add garlic and red-pepper flakes. Stir to incorporate and reduce heat to medium. Cover, leaving the lid ajar.
• Cook mixture for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until completely soft. Add olives, vinegar and capers, and cook for a few minutes more, just to meld the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with oregano. Set aside. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Cook the chicken: Place a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is wavy, add chicken thighs, skin-side down. Shake the pan to make sure the chicken isn't sticking.
• Lower the heat to medium. Place a piece of parchment or aluminum foil on top of chicken and set another skillet on top. Add some weight - a brick or canned goods, for example - to the top skillet. Set heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, checking occasionally to be sure chicken isn't sticking, until the skin side is beautifully browned.
• Turn thighs over and cook for 10 minutes more, until thighs are cooked through. (To test, pierce the chicken with a paring knife. The juices should run clear.) If you wish, turn the thighs skin-side down again and let crisp for a few more minutes.
• Serve 1 thigh and a large spoonful of stewed peppers to each guest. Leftover peppers, if any remain, will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
