Chicken Parmesan Pomodoro Recipes

BASIC PARMESAN POMODORO

Steps:

• Heat a medium nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 cup of the oil and the garlic, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the garlic, stirring often and mashing gently with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and beginning to soften, 5 minutes. Add the basil, tomatoes and their juices, the carrots and cheese rinds. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Bring to a simmer and adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 35 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Remove the rinds, carrots and basil. At this point you can use an immersion blender to puree slightly or leave it as a chunky sauce.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne 2 minutes less than the package directions. Meanwhile, rewarm the sauce in a large, straight-sided skillet set over medium heat. Using a spider, strain the pasta from the water and add it directly into the pan with sauce, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Before stirring, sprinkle the pasta with the grated cheese. Toss the pasta, cheese and sauce together. Add the butter, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the reserved pasta water and continue to cook until the sauce is creamy and the pasta is al dente. Serve topped with more cheese if desired.

30-MINUTE CHICKEN POMODORO

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder (about ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder per chicken breast).
• In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Cook chicken, about 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
• Don't wipe the skillet clean. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and stir until fragrant, another 1 minute. Add white wine and scrape the brown bits from the skillet (this will release tons of flavor) and cook until the wine has reduced.
• Stir in the cherry tomatoes and chicken broth. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes get soft. Break down the tomatoes using a fork and add more broth if needed. Add granulated sugar to help reduce the acidity. Then, season with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Tip: If you want the sauce to be less chunky, cook it down 5-10 minutes longer adding more broth to taste.
• Stir in chopped basil. Return chicken to skillet, nesting it under the sauce and spooning some over the top, and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
• Serve immediately with more basil on top and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
