Red Chili Braised Chicken With Potatoes And Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken with salt. Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Swirl in oil. Cook chicken, skin side down, until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken, and push to side of skillet. Add 1 cup stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes to liquid. Bring to a boil. Add garlic, olives, lemon wedges, and thyme to liquid. Return to a boil.
• Transfer skillet to oven. Roast, stirring potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Return skillet to stove. Mix cornstarch with remaining 1/4 cup stock, and stir into pan. Bring to a boil to thicken sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the oil to a large pot; heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add in onion; stir/saute 5 minutes.
• Add chili powder and the next 4 incredients; stir/saute for 30 seconds.
• Add in the chicken stock, beans, and tomatoes; bring to a boil.
• Lower heat to medium-low; simmer for 30 minutes.
• Add in the chicken; stir to mix; simmer for 15 minutes.
• Ladle chili into individual soup bowls; top with cheese and sour cream.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the black pepper. Finely grate, pass through a press or mince 2 garlic cloves. Set aside half the grated garlic for finishing the dish. Rub the rest all over the chicken pieces. Set aside the chicken while preparing the other ingredients.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, combine 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter melts, add chicken in batches and cook until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If the pan dries out, add a little more oil as needed. Transfer browned chicken to a plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon each oil and butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add mushrooms and cook undisturbed until well browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Thinly slice 2 garlic cloves. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in sliced garlic, leeks and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender and golden brown, 7 minutes. Add rosemary and wine to the pot and let simmer, scraping up the browned bits, until liquid reduces by half, about 1 minute.
• Nestle chicken, skin side up, into the pan and pour in any accumulated juices from the plate. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Pluck the rosemary sprigs from the pot. If the sauce looks thin, turn the heat to medium-high and let simmer until it thickens slightly, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining grated garlic, the crème fraîche, chives and lemon zest. Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. Spoon sauce over the chicken and top with parsley, more lemon zest and a dollop of crème fraîche, if you like, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the unpeeled garlic and roast until softened, shaking pan, about 15 minutes (garlic will blacken in spots). Cool and peel.
• Meanwhile, heat another skillet. Open and flatten the chilies (they may break), and toast 2 at a time, pressing them against the hot surface until they crackle and emit wisps of smoke. Flip over and toast other sides. Place in a bowl of hot water. Weight with a plate to keep the chilies submerged, and soak for 30 minutes. Drain.
• Place the garlic, chilies, oregano, cumin and 2/3 cup of chicken broth in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping and stirring. Add more broth, if needed, to puree the chilies. Press through a medium-mesh sieve and set aside. (The dish can be made ahead up to here.)
• Heat the oil in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry and place in the pot in a single uncrowded layer, in batches if necessary. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Place all but 2 onion slices in the pot. Saute until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the chile puree and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and much darker, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of broth. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the potatoes and mushrooms, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Push the chicken legs into the sauce, cover partly and cook 15 minutes. Push the remaining chicken into the sauce, cover partly and cook until done, about 30 minutes longer.
• Transfer the chicken to a warm, deep serving platter. Season the sauce and vegetables with salt. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and arrange the vegetables around it. Shape the reserved onion slices into rings and scatter over the vegetables. Serve.
