• Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet.
• Wipe out skillet, leaving just a little bit of the fond. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in tomato sauce, cream, and milk; stir to combine.

CHICKEN THIGHS IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Divide the oil between 2 skillets, and heat it over medium-to-high heat until it is hot. Add the chicken in one layer to the skillets. Sprinkle half the salt over the chicken pieces, and brown them for 5 minutes on one side, then for 5 minutes on the other side.
• Remove the chicken to a platter, and add the onions to the drippings in the skillets. Cook about 2 minutes over high heat to brown the onions lightly. Add the garlic, and cook about 30 seconds longer.
• If using canned tomatoes, divide the tomatoes and their juice between the 2 skillets, breaking up the tomatoes with the edge of the spoon as you mix them in. If using fresh tomato pieces, divide them between the skillets, and add 1/4 cup of water to each skillet. Mix well and bring to a boil.
• Return the chicken pieces to the skillets. Add the remaining salt and the pepper to the mixture, and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and boil gently for 10 minutes.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter or divide it among six individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle the chopped herbs on top, and serve.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS AND LEGS WITH TOMATO

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Arrange the chicken thighs and legs on a tray in a single layer and season them with salt, to taste. Turn the pieces on their other side and season again. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, carefully add the chicken to the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Resist the temptation to move or turn the pieces. Allow them to brown on their first side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use metal tongs to turn the chicken pieces to sear their second side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a tray and set it aside.
• In the same skillet, add the cumin seeds and chili flakes, stirring rapidly to give them a quick toast, about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the onions, ginger and garlic and stir to combine. Season the ingredients with salt, to taste, then add the tomatoes, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Allow the mixture to cook and all the flavors to come together, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan, keep the heat low and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes. (Chef's note: If the sauce becomes overly thick or begins to stick to the bottom of the skillet, feel free to add some water, about 1/2 cup at a time.)
• When the chicken is cooked through, remove and discard the cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Taste for seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve alongside the braised cabbage, if desired.
