BRAISED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND PEPPERS

Braised Chicken with Tomatoes and Peppers

Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
  • 1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb), skin removed
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse (kosher or sea) salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 medium yellow or green bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
  • 1 medium jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen® organic fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Hot cooked rice or couscous, if desired
  • Lime wedges, if desired

Instructions

  1. In deep 12-inch skillet or 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken pieces to skillet; cook 5 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is light golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet; set aside.
  2. In same skillet, add onion, garlic, bell pepper and chile; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in tomatoes, broth, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, the chili powder and cumin until well mixed.
  3. Return chicken to skillet; spoon sauce over chicken. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, turning chicken once, until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and drumsticks).
  4. Serve in shallow bowls over rice; sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
  5. Variation: Like a spicy dish? Use hot-style chili powder instead of regular chili powder, or two jalapeño chiles instead of one.

  27. Using the Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes I would first sear some lamb chops then add a mixture of the tomatoes, red wine vinegar, basil and garlic all in one pan and let simmer on low for about an hour. I serve mine with some home made linguine with sauce on top, chops on the side and a salad! Amazing!
