Chicken with Peppers

To prepare a delicious chicken with olives recipe, start by boiling the chicken in a pot of salted water. It is important that the water is well salted so that the meat acquires a pleasant flavor. Let the chicken boil until the meat easily comes off the bones, a sign that it is ready. After removing it from the water, carefully debone it, ensuring that no bone fragments remain. Cut the meat into suitable pieces that will cook evenly.

In a large saucepan, melt together a tablespoon of oil and a small piece of butter to give the dish a rich flavor. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté it until it becomes translucent, being careful not to burn it, as this will affect the final taste. Once the onion is ready, add the diced peppers, which will add a crunchy texture and vibrant color to the dish.

Once the peppers have softened slightly, add the pieces of chicken meat. Pour in the broth in which the chicken was boiled, just enough to cover the ingredients in the saucepan. This will help to enhance the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that each ingredient is well seasoned. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about thirty minutes. This process allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.

In the last minutes, add the olives, which have been kept in water to lose some of their saltiness. The olives will add a delicious contrast and enrich the dish. Once all the ingredients are well integrated, transfer the saucepan to the preheated oven. Cook for 15-30 minutes, or until the sauce reduces and thickens, giving a glossy and appetizing appearance.

If you notice that the sauce is not thick enough, you can dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a little cold broth, then add the mixture to the saucepan, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let it bake for a few more minutes, so that the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Finally, serve the dish hot, alongside a side of rice or mashed potatoes, to complete this savory meal. The dish will surely impress with its rich taste and attractive appearance. Enjoy your meal!
