Chicken With White Wine And Olives Recipes

SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH GREEN OLIVES AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Put oil in a deep skillet or casserole, preferably nonstick. Turn heat to medium-high. When oil is hot, add chicken, skin side down, and brown it well, rotating and turning pieces as necessary, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• With chicken skin side up, add wine and olives. Adjust heat so mixture simmers vigorously, 10 to 15 minutes.
• When chicken is almost done, place sliced lemon on it, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Arrange chicken and lemon on a platter, and stir walnuts into sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning, then spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

CHICKEN WITH OLIVES AND WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the skin from all chicken and wash well.
• Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat chilli oil in the pot. If you do not have chilli oil, you can make some easily. You will need to take olive oil and heat it up (do not burn it!). Add lots of red pepper flakes and let it simmer (without burning the flakes)for about 5 minutes. Once the mixture is cool, that's chilli oil.
• Add the chicken to the pot with the meatiest parts on the bottom.
• Brown the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, making sure it doesn't stick to the pot or burn. Turn over if necessary. You may add more chilli oil if you think it's required.
• Add the chopped capers, garlic, olives and parsley to the pot. If you'd like extra sauce and olives or capers in this recipe, you can add them freely. I usually add lots of olives, so that everyone gets a huge scoope of them on their chicken.
• Add the white wine to the pot. If you don't think there's enough sauce for your meal, then add extra white wine.
• Stir a bit so that everything is nicely mixed.
• Cover the pot and allow the chicken to fully cook in the boiling white wine sauce.
• Serve hot. Nice sides are rice, pasta or salad.

• Add shallots and garlic cloves to skillet and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Add minced garlic, herbs and olives and simmer for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes more. Pour wine mixture over chicken and cover with foil.
