Chicken Puttanesca Recipe
This is a delicious variation on the classic pasta puttanesca. The sauce is wonderful cooked with chicken, too. If you are skeptical about anchovies, I PROMISE you will not even know they're there. They just add a terrific depth of flavor that mak... More

Ingredients
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts (or could use bone-in, just cook longer)
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 large onion, sliced thin
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 anchovies
  • 1 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs
  • 1/4 cup olives (I used Kalamata, but any you like would work)
  • 2 Tablespoons capers
  • 1/2 pound of pasta (cook it while you prepare chicken & sauce)

Directions
  1. Season chicken with pepper while 1 Tablespoon of oil heats over medium-high.
  2. Brown chicken on both sides and remove to a plate.
  3. Add remaining olive oil and turn heat down to medium.
  4. Cook onions for a couple minutes, until starting to soften.
  5. Add garlic and red pepper, cook 1 minute.
  6. Add anchovies and cook stirring until they dissolve.
  7. Add white wine, tomatoes, chicken stock, herbs and tomato paste.
  8. Stir to combine.
  9. Return chicken to pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until chicken is cooked. For boneless breasts, this could be as short as 5 minutes, or as much as 20-25 minutes for bone-in.
  10. Serve mixed with pasta of your choice. I used whole wheat rigatoni.

This sounds great! I was just thinking about a chicken sauce for pasta last night... I'll have to try this!

Just a question: I'm in Italy but I have no idea what "Italian Spice" is?! Is it some pre-mixed combo you buy in the States? Would you mind telling me what spices or herbs it includes please? So many recipes call for it... Thanks!


Oh, yeah.


Hi Nemo, here in the States Italian herbs tend to include oregano, rosemary, basil, thyme, and marjoram. Sorry for being so US-centric with the ingredients!


Wonderful chicken preparation. You had me with the anchovies. Love it. Thanks for the post.


Like NYM i was hooked when you said anchovy,This rates my high 5 forks....Thanks....Bob
