Recipe facts:
Takes: 25 mins to prepare and 50 mins to cook
Serves: 4

Ingredients

50ml olive oil
8 skinless chicken thighs and drumsticks
50ml dry sherry
2 red peppers, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
100g pimento stuffed green olives
400g canned chopped tomatoes
400ml chicken stock
1 bay leaf
200g white long grain rice, cooked as per package instructions
1tbsp coriander, finely chopped

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based casserole dish over a moderate heat. Season, then sear the chicken thighs until golden brown in colour all over. Remove and set to one side.

Add the onions, peppers and bay leaf, sweating for 4-5 minutes over a reduced heat. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes. Increase the heat, then pour in the sherry and deglaze the dish until the sherry has almost evaporated entirely.

Add the chicken thighs back to the dish and add the chicken stock and chopped tomatoes. Bring the casserole to the boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, then stir in the olives and discard the bay leaf. Serve on a bed of hot rice.

Chicken with samfaina recipe

The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Chicken with samfaina Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Chicken with samfaina.

A vibrant and robust Catalan classic. I've adapted this dish from a recipe by food writer Coleman Andrews. I prefer cooking the eggplant over an open flame to give it a touch of smokiness and depth; it can be done in the oven as well. The chicken is first roasted in the oven and then the samfaina is added to the pan to combine flavours. 

Ingredients

Chicken

1 free range chicken, cut in 4 pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tsp chilli flakes
100mL extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Extra virgin olive oil to finish
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Samfaina

2 medium eggplants
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 anchovy fillets
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1.5cm dice
3 small capsicums
(2 red, 1 green), roasted, peeled and cut into strips
4 tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped

Method

For chicken: Preheat oven to 200C.

Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper and chilli and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Roast for 1 hour or until golden brown.

For samfaina: While chicken is roasting, make the samfaina. Turn eggplants frequently over an open gas flame until charred all over. Try not to break the skin as you turn them. Remove to a plate to cool slightly. Half eggplants, scoop out the flesh and cut into strips, avoiding charred skin.

Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until softened and golden. Add the anchovies, zucchini and capsicum, season with salt and pepper and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook a further 5 mins. Add eggplant, remove from heat and season to taste.

When the chicken is done, remove from oven and add the samfaina to the roasting pan with the chicken and stir to combine all the juices and flavours. Return pan to oven to cook a further 5 mins.
To serve

Drizzle with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and finish with chopped parsley.

Serve hot or warm.

Serves 4-6.
