Sicilian Braised Sweet And Sour Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Place raisins in a small dish. Add wine and set aside.
• Place chicken between 2 sheets plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper; dredge in flour.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove chicken and add onion and garlic to pan. Saute for about 2 minutes; then add oregano, remaining salt and pepper, sugar and vinegar. Stir in tomatoes, capers and olives. Add raisins to sauce and stir in chicken broth; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to pan and heat through.
• Arrange chicken and sauce on serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Garnish with tomato roses.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based heat-proof casserole, add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden, then discard the garlic.
• Dust the chicken in seasoned flour and shake away the excess, then cook in the oil over medium heat until light golden all over-this will need to be done in a couple of batches.
• Remove all from the pan.
• Add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until almost soft.
• Add the wine, bay leaf rosemary and vinegar and boil for 2 minutes.
• Add the stock, then return the chicken to the pan and bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
• Add the sugar, currants and olives to pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is syrupy.
• Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the parsley and pine nuts and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix the above 4 ingredients, put in a lightly greased pie pan (any pan will work) add chicken breasts.
• Cook at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until juices run clear.
