Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 8 oz of linguica sausage, thinly sliced
- 1 sliced onion
- 1 chopped green bell pepper
- 4 lbs of assorted chicken pieces
- 1 ½ tsp of freshly chopped oregano leaves
- ¼ tsp of freshly chopped basil
- 1 tsp of kosher salt
- ½ tsp of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup of dry white wine
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ tsp of red pepper flakes
- 1 orange, cut into wedges
Step 1
In a cozy Dutch oven, dance your way into a fragrant symphony by heating up a glug of oil over a gentle flame. Toss in the lively trio of sausage, onion, and bell pepper, and let them mingle until softened and golden, creating a harmonious melody that sings for about 10 minutes. With a gentle farewell onto a waiting plate, let the flavorful drippings linger in the pot, adding depth to the forthcoming masterpiece.
Step 2
In a charming ritual, blend together oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a dainty bowl, and lovingly massage this aromatic mixture onto the noble chicken. As you add the chicken to the pot, crank up the heat to a spirited medium-high, and let it sizzle and sear with grace on all sides for around 10 minutes, infusing the air with tantalizing scents.
Step 3
With a graceful twirl, reintroduce the sausage and veggie medley back into the pot, along with a splash of wine, broth, the enigmatic bay leaves, and a whisper of red pepper flakes. Let this bubbling concoction come to a lively boil, then lower the heat to a comforting medium-low, allowing it to simmer gently under a cozy lid until the chicken reaches its tender, blushing perfection in the center, a process that takes about 35 to 45 minutes.
Step 4
As the final act unfolds, bid adieu to the bay leaves, their performance complete. Present the succulent chicken alongside vibrant orange wedges, a burst of citrus to elevate the flavors of this enchanting culinary tale.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize airtight containers to store any leftover braised chicken – this will help maintain its moisture and flavor for longer.
- 2. If you’re short on fridge space, consider freezing individual portions of the chicken in ziplock bags for easy reheating later on.
- 3. To infuse even more flavor into the dish, store the braised chicken along with the cooking liquid and aromatics in the fridge overnight – the flavors will meld beautifully.
