Sicilian-Style Chicken

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To prepare the Sicilian-style chicken, wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, cut them in half, and set them aside.
  2. Remove the stems from the chili peppers, slice them open to scrape out the seeds, and then slice them thinly.
  3. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the unpeeled garlic cloves and sliced chilies, sauté for a couple of minutes, then add the chicken pieces.
  4. Brown the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes, black olives, and capers. Pour in the red wine, let the alcohol evaporate, and then add the water.
  5. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered for another 15–20 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once cooked, discard the garlic cloves and season with salt if needed. Serve your Sicilian-style chicken piping hot.
