Chicken with tomatoes and prunes is a delicious and unique dish that blends savory and sweet flavors. This recipe combines the tender taste of chicken with the robust flavors of tomatoes and prunes, enhanced by a medley of spices and white wine. It's perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces. Season them with the salt and black pepper, making sure to coat them evenly.
- In a large skillet or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is hot and bubbling, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Sear them on all sides until they are golden brown. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the chicken is seared, add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle the sugar, ground cinnamon, and vinegar over the ingredients. Stir to combine well.
- Pour the white wine and water into the pot. Gently stir to mix the liquids with the tomatoes and chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the pitted prunes to the pot, distributing them evenly amongst the chicken pieces.
- Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for approximately 45-50 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the chicken and prunes cook evenly and the flavors meld together.
- After 45-50 minutes, check the chicken for doneness. The chicken should be cooked through, tender, and the internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
- Once done, serve the Chicken with Tomatoes and Prunes hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, couscous, or a fresh green salad to complement its rich flavors.
Tips:
- Ensure you marinate the chicken properly to allow the flavors to penetrate deeply.
- Use a good quality white wine for cooking, as it enhances the flavor of the dish.
- Consider browning the chicken in butter before adding the rest of the ingredients to develop a richer flavor.
- Be careful with the amount of salt used, especially if your prunes are unsweetened or salted.
- For a thicker sauce, you can simmer the mixture for a longer time or add a small amount of cornstarch dissolved in water.
- Serve this dish with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Chicken with tomatoes and prunes is a delightful meal that is sure to impress.
