Red Wine-Braised Chicken

with Tomatoes, Cilantro, and Garlic

This is a great easy dish great for game days. It creates its own wine sauce during cooking  and the chicken is really soft to the touch with all the wine character. Serve with some backed sweet potatoes, this is a great afternoon relaxation to enjoy. Cheers~

 

Ingredients

 

Preparation and Design

10 cloves garlic, peeled
8 tablespoons olive oil
6 chicken breast and 12 legs
sea salt and fresh black pepper
1/2 bottle red wine
2 cups chicken stock
3 cups tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoon tomato paste
4 garlic cubes, sliced

1 cup cilantro

zaterains dirty rice


Fresh flat-leaf basil

leaves as a garnish
 

 

Place the garlic cloves in a saucepan, cover with water,

and bring to a boil to soften over medium-high heat. As

soon as the water  boils, drain, the garlic and set aside.

 

Heat 8 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer pan, leaving space between the pieces. Season with salt and pepper, and cook

until light golden on each side, 10 minutes total. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off the excess fat. Increase the heat to high, add the wine to the pan, and reduce by approximately half, 10 minutes. Return the selected chicken to the pan, along with the garlic, chicken stock, tomatoes,

and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low,

and simmer for 5 minutes. Continue to cook, covered, until

the juices from the chicken are clear, 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Remove the chicken pieces from the pan and set aside; cover with foil to keep warm. Cook the Zatarain's Dirty Rice, Arrange the chicken on a platter and drizzle the sauce over the top.
