CHICKEN PUTTANESCA



Chicken Puttanesca image

This lovely, gutsy sauce goes wonderful with chicken that has been sauteed first, then gently simmered in the sauce to absorb all the flavours. No need to miss out on the pasta either, as green tagliatelle is the perfect accompaniment! Recipe courtesy of The Delia Collection: Chicken. We love this!

4 part-boned chicken breasts, skin on (about 8 oz each)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 fresh red chile, deseeded and finely chopped

  • Stir everything well, bringing it up to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the pan, skin side up, pushing them well down into the sauce and basting a little over the top.
  • Simmer for 40 to 45 minutes, uncovered, until the chicken has cooked and the sauce has reduced and thickened.
  • About 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time, put a large pan of salted water on to heat and bring it up to the boil.
  • Then boil the tagliatelle according to the package directions.
  • After that, quickly drain and serve with the chicken, sauce spooned over, tagliatelle on the side.
  • Garnish with the fresh sprigs of basil and enjoy!
