Spanish Chicken With Oranges Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over high heat.
• Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper and brown in oil until skin is crisp, about 6 minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to a plate and reduce heat to medium. Drain all but 2 Tbsp drippings from skillet.
• Add shallots and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
• Add sherry, boil until reduced by half. Then add chicken broth, orange juice and grated rind. Boil one more minute.
• Return chicken pieces to pan, skin side up. Arrange orange wedges and olives around chicken, and place some shallots atop the ckicken.
• Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, until done through.
• Place chicken on a platter. Bring juices to a boil on the stove and stir in the honey, to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the sauce, oranges, olives, and shallots over the chicken and serve.
• Great with rice or cous-cous and lightly sauteed greens.

Steps:

• Rub chicken with salt & pepper and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy shallow flameproof casserole or saute pan than can hold the chicken in a single layer and heat over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, brown the chicken all over, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chicken to a bowl.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is limp but not browned, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and stir for 30 seconds. Add the sherry, increase the heat to high, and cook until the sherry is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the bitter and regular orange juices and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan, cover it, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the orange zest, tomatoes, olives, and parsley. Continue to cook the chicken over low heat, covered, turning it once or twice, until very tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the oranges with a small sharp knife, removing all the white pith. Working over a sieve set over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the orange sections. Carefully stir the orange sections into the stew and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving bowl, spoon the pan juices and olives over it, sprinkle the mint on top and serve.

Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand covered 10 minutes.

• Transfer chicken to platter. Bring sauce to boil over high heat. Stir in honey; boil until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce, oranges, and olives over chicken, or return chicken to skillet and serve.

• Return the chicken along with any juices from the bowl or plate back to the skillet and nestle into the rice .
• Cook covered over low heat until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (about 20-25 minutes, it might take more or less time).
• Add in the peas and olives, season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover the skillet and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Put the beans, rice, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes with their liquid, water, garlic powder, saffron, cayenne and 1/3 cup of olives in a 4 quart crock pot.
• Place chicken on top; season with paprika and garlic pepper.
• Cover and cook on low for about 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked and rice is tender, but not mushy.
• Mix in the remaining olives and serve garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• Place a wide pan over a high heat and add a touch of olive oil, then lightly season the chicken thighs and brown in the pan. Place skin side down first, as they will release a touch of fat, which will help to colour the meat and caramelise the rest of the ingredients.
• Once both sides are golden, set them aside and start frying the thinly sliced garlic and onion.
• When golden, add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute so that the flour doesn't become doughy or lumpy.
• Bring the chicken back to the pan, add rosemary and pour in the glass of white wine.
• Stir the sauce to dissolve the flour and reduce the wine by half to burn the alcohol and add the acidity that the dish needs.
• At this point add the black pepper, the glass of water and the olives and braise the dish for approximately 20 minutes, until the chicken has tenderised and the ingredients have come together in a juicy, rich sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Place in a lightly oiled or sprayed 4 quart baking dish.
• Cover with sliced onions.
• MAKE SAUCE:.
• In a bowl whisk together tomato sauce or paste, beer, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 cloves garlic and green chiles.
• Pour over chicken.

• Bake uncovered for about 60 minutes.
• Add olives and bake 5minutes longer.
• Chicken should be done when juices run clear.

• 2/2012 I precooked in the microwave for 4-5 minutes until nearly done, before adding to the top of the chicken, before baking.
