Chicken Puttanesca Recipes

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry and season well with salt and pepper. In a deep-sided 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook undisturbed until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side of the chicken thighs, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan and return the pan to medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, anchovies and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is pale golden and the anchovies have dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir until dissolved, then stir in the tomatoes and their juices, scraping up any brown bits that have collected at the bottom of the pan. Stir in the olives and capers, then add the chicken back to the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer until the flavors meld and the chicken cooks through, 15 to 20 minutes, adding a tablespoon or so of water if the sauce begins to look dry.
• Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Scatter with parsley and oregano, if using. Divide chicken among plates or bowls, spooning additional sauce over top.

Fold up the edges of the foil and seal each to form a packet; set on a baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
