Pollobarcelonabarcelonastylechicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a deep skillet and brown chicken. Remove chicken and set aside.
• Add flour to the drippings in the pan. Blend well.
• Pour in broth and wine. Cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens.
• Add olives, mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper.
• Return chicken to pan. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, or until chicken is tender, turning meat occasionally.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently until juices run clear. Stir in the flour and ketchup, then whisk in the broth. When sauce begins to thicken, reduce heat and stir in the cream. Simmer covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Spoon the mixture into flour or corn tortillas and serve with rice and beans.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry. Mix the oregano and paprika with some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken and stick it in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a paella pan or wide shallow skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is beginning to smoke, add the chicken, skin side down, and brown all over, turning with tongs. Add the chorizo and continue to cook until the oil is a vibrant red color. Remove the chicken and sausage to a platter lined with paper towels.
• Return the pan to the stove and lower the heat to medium. Now make a sofrito by sautéing the garlic and onion in the oil that remains in the pan for 7 to 10 minutes, until they begin to brown. Add the tomatoes and cook it all down until the mixture caramelizes a bit and the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the rice, stirring to coat the grains. Stir in the saffron. Pour in 3 cups warm water and simmer for 10 minutes, gently moving the pan around so the rice cooks evenly and absorbs the liquid. Do not cover or stir constantly as you would a risotto.
• Add the shrimp, lobster, clams, and the reserved chicken and chorizo. Give the paella a couple of good stirs to tuck all the pieces in there, then just let it simmer, without stirring, until the rice is al dente, about 15 minutes. Scatter the peas on top and continue to cook for 5 more minutes, until the paella looks fluffy and moist. (The ideal paella has a toasted rice bottom called socarrat.) Then let it rest off the heat for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Shake pepper and thyme on chicken breasts.
• Melt butter in skillet and brown the chicken (do not cook all the way thru because you are still going to put it in the oven).
• Set aside in a baking dish and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a saute pan, melt butter and saute onion and poblano peppers till soft.
• Take 3/4 of the onion and pepper mixture and place in blender along with a dash of salt.
• Add sour cream and whipping cream to reach a thick consistency (about 1/4 of the carton).
• Turn on blender and puree, leaving some of the texture- set aside.
• Place chicken breasts in a baking dish, squeeze lime juice on each breast, then pour the pureed mixture over them.
• Take the remainder of the peppers and onion and place them on top of the chickens.
• Cover the top with cheese and lightly sprinkle thyme on top of everything.
• Place in the oven uncovered for 25 minutes- the cheese will be starting to brown by then.
• Serving suggestion: With rice!
