The quintessentially Provençal combination of thyme, basil, fennel, and orange makes sensational chicken.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 3 tsp. olive oil
- 2 red peppers
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 jumbo onion
- 3 clove garlic
- 1 can plum tomatoes
- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp. fennel seeds
- 3 strip orange peel
- 1/2 c. loosely packed fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken with 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt. In nonreactive 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add half of chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. With tongs, transfer chicken pieces to bowl as they are browned. Repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining chicken.
- Reduce heat to medium. To drippings in Dutch oven, add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, red and yellow peppers, onion, and remaining 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
- Return chicken to Dutch oven. Add tomatoes with their juice, thyme, fennel seeds, and orange peel; heat to boiling, breaking up tomatoes with side of spoon. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until chicken loses its pink color throughout, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with basil to serve. Makes 8 main-dish servings. Nutritional information is based on one serving.
