MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Seared Chicken With Salami & Olives Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Beef Yield: 4 Servings 2 lb Chicken thighs; boned, - skinned, patted dry 2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil Salt & black pepper 4 oz Salami; coarse chopped 1 lg Shallot; coarse chopped 1 c Green olives; pitted, halved 1/2 tb Unsalted butter; cold Honey or brown sugar In a large (12") skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned underneath, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 2 to 5 minutes. (Breasts will be done before thighs.) While the chicken's cooking, place 1 cup of water near the stove. (You'll need it in the next step.) Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, leaving the skillet over the heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the salami and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the water, increase heat to a simmer and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the olives, chicken and any juices from the plate. Simmer until the chicken is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to serving plates. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter until incorporated. Taste the sauce; if it's too salty, add honey or brown sugar to taste. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Recipe by Ali Slagle Recipe FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
