👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
💡 Profitipps: Drying the chicken ensures a better sear. - 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
💡 Profitipps: Don't overcrowd the pan; sear chicken in batches if necessary. - 3
Add the chopped onion to the same pan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 Profitipps: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. - 4
Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
💡 Profitipps: Reducing the wine concentrates its flavor. - 5
Return the chicken to the pan. Add the diced tomatoes, Kalamata olives, chopped tarragon, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
💡 Profitipps: Ensure the liquid comes about halfway up the sides of the chicken. - 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
💡 Profitipps: Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces. - 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh tarragon sprigs before serving.
💡 Profitipps: Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or with rice or potatoes.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓For a more intense tarragon flavor, add a little more fresh tarragon towards the end of cooking.
- ✓If you don't have Kalamata olives, other brine-cured black olives can be used.
- ✓A pinch of red pepper flakes can be added for a hint of heat.
