Chicken with puttanesca sauce

As posted on Boston.com

SAUCE

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 4 anchovy fillets, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 2 cans (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
    1. In a large flameproof casserole over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened.
    2. Add the anchovies, red pepper, and oregano. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until the spices release their aromas.
    3. Add wine, and simmer until it reduces by half.
    4. Add the capers, olives, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until tomatoes form a chunky sauce. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and black pepper, if you like.
    5. Reserve 2 1/2 cups sauce for the penne. Set the remaining sauce aside for the chicken.

CHICKEN

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
    1. Heat oven at 400 degrees. Place the chicken breasts, 2 at a time, between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap. Use the smooth side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the breasts to about 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
    2. In a large heavy skillet with a heatproof handle, heat the canola oil over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Turn and transfer the skillet to the oven.
    3. Continue cooking the chicken for 5 minutes or until it is cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
    4. Return the skillet to high heat. Add the puttanesca sauce that you reserved for the chicken. Bring the sauce to a boil. Place 1 chicken breast half on each of 4 dinner plates. Top each breast with puttanesca sauce. Garnish with broccoli rabe.
