ITALIAN-STYLE BRAISED CHICKEN IN WINE

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces well with sea salt.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the lard or oil. When the fat shimmers, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook, turning once and adjusting the heat as needed, until browned on all sides, 12 to 15 minutes. If the chicken skin sticks to the pan, don't force it. Wait a little longer and try again. The chicken will let go when it's ready.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Reduce the heat under the pan to low. Stir in the onion and garlic, season with salt, and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the peperoncino or pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine, increase the heat to medium, and scrape up any browned bits from the sides and bottom of the pan. Cook until the alcohol aroma dissipates and the liquid has nearly completely evaporated, about 3 minutes.
• Toss in the tomatoes and basil and season with salt and stir to combine.
• Return all the chicken pieces except the breasts to the pan and add enough water to barely reach halfway up the sides of the chicken. Cook, stirring and turning the pieces occasionally, until the chicken is tender, the tomatoes have collapsed, and the sauce has a slightly thicker consistency, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Return the chicken breasts to the pan and cook until the internal temperature of the breast reaches 165°F (74°C), about 10 minutes more.
• Transfer the chicken to a platter or serve directly from the skillet, spooning the sauce from the pan over the chicken. Dive in.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or similar deep, sturdy pot over medium-high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Once the oil is hot and shimmering (but not so hot it starts smoking), add the chicken in a single layer. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned, moving the chicken as little as possible so that it gets a nice sear. Flip and brown on the other side, about 2 additional minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large, clean plate. The chicken does not need to be cooked through.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.
• Add the white wine. Stir and let simmer until the wine is reduced by approximately half, about 3 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Nestle the chicken thighs into the tomato sauce, along with any drippings that have collected on the plate. The chicken should be mostly submerged, though some may peek through.
• Partially cover the pot and let simmer 15 to 20 additional minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the sauce is thickened, and the mushrooms are tender.
• If you'd like to dice or shred the chicken, remove it to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, dice or shred it, then return it to the pot. You also can serve the chicken thighs whole.
• Taste and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper as desired. If you've chopped or shredded the chicken, return it to the sauce and toss to combine and warm through. Otherwise, serve the chicken pieces whole with a generous amount of sauce on top.
• Serve hot over pasta, rice, polenta, or veggie noodles, with a big extra spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan.
