Brooklyn Girls Penne Arrabiata Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and saute for a few minutes. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, and saute for another minute. Pour in the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, and add the basil. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta, and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
• In a small bowl, whisk eggs with a fork. Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Stir the garlic powder, salt and pepper into the bread crumbs. Dip chicken cutlets into the egg, then press into the bread crumbs until completely coated.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for about 5 minutes per side, or until the coating is a nice dark brown color.
• Remove chicken, and cut into slices. Toss the chicken slices into the sauce, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cooked penne, simmer for a few more minutes to soak up the flavor, then serve.

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and pour out the drippings.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken skin-side up and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Put the ciabatta on a baking sheet and top each slice with a piece of cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the chicken among plates; spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with the broccolini and cheese toasts.

Steps:

• Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil to a hot pan over medium-high heat, throw in the red pepper flakes, garlic and onions and give them a stir. Add the wine (or chicken broth), whisking to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add a pinch of sugar and some salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Let cool, then portion into 4 freezer bags and freeze.
