Chicken And Chickpea Stew With Roasted Red Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Cut chicken along backbone on one side with shears; open like a book. Turn over; press flat on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine onion and vinegar in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, and lemon juice. Season both with salt and pepper.
• Remove sheet from oven; scatter chickpeas and lemon slices around chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with remaining oil. Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part ofbreast registers 165 degrees, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Return sheet to oven; roast until chickpeas are crisp, 10 minutes. Cut chicken into pieces. Toss chickpea mixture and herbs with onion mixture. Serve, with chicken and yogurt sauce.

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the chickpeas and their liquid, roasted red peppers, canned tomatoes, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, onion, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and several generous grinds of pepper. Cook on low until the flavors are blended, 6 to 8 hours.
• Taste before serving and add more salt, pepper or vinegar if necessary. Divide among bowls and top with a drizzle of olive oil, red-pepper flakes and smoked almonds.

Steps:

• Turn on the sauté setting on a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, garlic and smoked paprika, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and their liquid, roasted red peppers and canned tomatoes. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure nothing is sticking, until fragrant and combined, about 1 minute. Stir in the vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
• Turn off the sauté setting. Put the lid on the pressure cooker and turn the steam valve to sealed. Set to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. After the cook time, turn off the heat and let the pressure reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually by twisting the steam valve to vent.
• Taste the stew, and add additional salt, pepper or vinegar, if you like. Serve the stew in bowls, topped with a drizzle of olive oil, red-pepper flakes and smoked almonds.
