Chickenamalfi Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage links until browned and oil begins to render, about 3 minutes per side. While sausages are cooking, pierce them lightly here and there with the tip of a sharp knife so some fats and juices are released. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut them into serving pieces, about 2-inch slices. Transfer back to pan along with any accumulated juices from the cutting board.
• Cut two slashes down to the bone on the skin side of each chicken thigh.
• Depending on the size of the peppers, halve or quarter them and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red and yellow onions and potato chunks. Add chicken thighs and sausage pieces with pan juices.
• Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
• Mix with your hands until all ingredients are coated in oil, 3 or 4 minutes. Transfer to large, heavy-duty roasting pan. Evenly space the chicken thighs skin side up. Position potatoes near the top.
• Place in preheated oven until chicken is cooked through and everything is caramelized, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with chopped fresh Italian parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over med.-high heat until very hot. Add chicken pieces and salt and cook until chicken is golden brown on all sides, transferring chicken to a plate as it browns. (I use a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil.).
• Add onion to skillet and cook until golden, stirring frequently.
• Stir in olives, tomatoes, capers, chicken broth, rosemary, lemon juice, and 1/3 cup water.
• Return chicken to skillet and bring to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Spoon olive mixture over chicken and stir occasionally while chicken is cooking. Chicken is done when juices run clear when pieces are pierces with a knife.
• To serve, arrange chicken on a platter, spoon olive mixture over chicken, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the lemon zest, thyme, rosemary and salt.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the lemon slices in the olive oil down the middle of the tray as a "rack" for the chicken. Sprinkle one-third of the salt rub on the underside of the chicken. Turn the chicken over and rub the remaining salt mixture over and under the skin of the whole chicken. Lay the chicken, skin side up, on the bed of lemons and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roast, basting every 15 minutes, until golden brown and an instant read thermometer read 160 degrees F in the thigh, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, using a fork, mash the lemon pulp into the juices on the baking sheet, discarding the rind. Mix the pulp into the drippings and use this mixture to spoon over the chicken just before serving.

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken, and season with turmeric, chili powder and salt. Fry gently, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently and turning the chicken.
• Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, cover the pan, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Uncover, and simmer for another 10 minutes to let the excess liquid evaporate.
• Add the ghee, cumin, ground coriander, ginger and cilantro, and simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes. Serve the chicken pieces with sauce spooned over the top.

Steps:

• Boil pasta as indicated for aldente. Set aside.
• Heat skillet over medium. Use olive oil or non stick spray. Saute garlic, frozen veggies (BirdsEye frozen veggie section), and chicken until chicken is no longer pink. Set aside.
• Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Add flour and cook for one minute. Using a whisk, incorporate milk, cream, and stock into the butter/flour mixture. Whisk on medium-high heat until thickened. Remove from heat adding 1/2 cup of cheese (reserving 1/4 cup of cheese for later) and spices.
• Combine pasta, cream sauce, and veggie/chicken mixture. Pour into greased 9x12 pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of parmasane cheese. Bake at 375 for aprox. 20 minute or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Finely mince 6 cloves garlic and the ginger with a pinch of salt, plenty of black pepper and crushed red-pepper flakes to taste. Season chicken all over with salt, and rub with the garlic mixture. Marinate for three hours or overnight, refrigerated.
• Finely chop the remaining 6 cloves of garlic. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the onion, chopped garlic, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until the onion is starting to become translucent. Stir in the fish sauce, then the tomato paste, and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until the paste and onions have combined and are a shade darker. Stir in 6 cups water, scraping up any browned bits.
• Add the chicken, bring to a boil and turn heat down to a moderate simmer. In a mixing bowl, stir a cup of the cooking liquid into the peanut butter, a splash at a time, to loosen it. Pour the peanut butter mixture into the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the cabbage and carrots, and simmer 10 minutes. Peel and cut the sweet potato and waxy potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks, add them and simmer 30 minutes, until the vegetables and chicken are tender and the sauce is like a very thick gravy. (The oil will be separating in the sauce.) If the chicken and vegetables are tender but the sauce is still a little loose, remove them, and let the sauce cook down. Add the chile if using. Taste, adjust seasoning with salt and serve over white rice.

Steps:

• Using mortar and pestle or a food processor, grind or process to a paste the ginger, garlic, chili peppers, tamarind and vinegar.
• Add to the ginger mixture the turmeric, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, salt, tomato juice, sugar, oil, and rum. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
• Rub the chickens inside and out with the marinade and refrigerate 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the chicken and all the marinade in a roasting pan and bake 8 minutes; then sprinkle tomatoes and onion over and around the chicken. Occasionally stir onions and tomatoes with sauce and cook chicken 30 minutes total or until done. Cut along backbone and pull each half breast off bone. Discard bones. Serve with marinade, tomatoes and onions.
