5 Ingredient Sauteed Chicken And Broccoli Rabe With Black Olives Sundried Tomatoes And Feta Food

CHALLENGE: GRILLED CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a blender, combine 1 cup olive oil, basil, red pepper flakes and 2 cloves garlic. Puree until blended and thick. Pour into a shallow baking dish and add the chicken. Toss to coat and marinate the chicken while finishing the dish.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet. Crush 3 garlic cloves and set aside. Heat 1 cup olive oil in the skillet. Add the garlic and cook until golden. Remove sausage from casings and add to the skillet. Saute the sausage until browned.
• In the boiling water, blanch the broccoli rabe until just soft but still crunchy. Transfer rabe to a bowl of ice water. Remove from water, drain on paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Grill the chicken until cooked through and juices run clear.
• To the browned sausage, add the mushrooms and saute until mushrooms start getting soft. Add the rabe, the chicken stock and a pinch of red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the bread and lay out on a serving plate. Spoon some of the broccoli rabe/sausage mixture over top, then cover each with 1 chicken breast and 1 thigh. Top with arugula, tomatoes and sliced provolone cheese. Then drizzle some of the broccoli rabe sauce over top, to wilt the arugula, and serve immediately.

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN SAUSAGE WITH BRAISED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a large, wide-based pot over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons neutral high-heat cooking oil, like canola, rice bran or grapeseed oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the sausage and brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and brown another side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown another side if possible, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan.
• Add the apple, onion and cabbage to the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon as the water releases from the vegetables. Cook until wilted, stirring occasionally and reducing the heat to medium-low as needed, about 10 minutes. Add the vinegar, 1/4 cup water (or broth for added flavor, if you have some) and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the sausage on top. Partially cover and simmer until the fruit and vegetables become wilted and are fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Slice the sausage on a cutting board and serve over the fruit and vegetables.
