With just a few rustic, rich-tasting add-ins — sherry, slivers of green olive, comforting cubes of bread — chicken thighs gain savory Spanish flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 clove garlic
  • 4 c. 1-inch cubed Italian bread
  • 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • Pepper
  • 3 medium peppers, preferably red, yellow, and orange
  • 1 medium shallot
  • 3 tbsp. dry sherry
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 c. pitted green olives
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and half of garlic on medium until garlic begins to sizzle. Add bread and stir until well coated. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, stirring occasionally. Transfer to large platter.
  2. Wipe out same skillet and add remaining tablespoon oil; heat on medium-high until hot. Add chicken and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Transfer to medium bowl.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add peppers. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until peppers are just beginning to soften. Add shallots and remaining garlic; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in sherry and water, scraping up any browned bits. Cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until peppers are very soft. Return chicken to skillet along with any juices. Cook 4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove skillet from heat and stir in lemon juice, olives, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Pour chicken mixture over croutons. Serve immediately.
