Chicken In Tomato Gravy Food

SHALLOW-FRIED CHICKEN WITH SOUTHERN TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F and coat a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray.
• If your chicken breasts have tenderloins attached, remove them and reserve for another use.
• Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently to an even thickness of 1/2-inch.
• Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow dish (a pie plate works well). Thoroughly combine the cornmeal, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper on a plate or sheet of wax paper.
• Dip each piece of chicken in the egg, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to get a solid, even coating.
• Add about 1/8-inch of oil to a large, heavy frying pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts in a single layer and cook, turning several times, until golden brown, 2-1/2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to the prepared baking pan and place in the oven to keep warm while you make the gravy.
• Wipe any remaining oil from the pan and melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until blended. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and develops a pale, golden color, 2 minutes.
• Add the onion and garlic and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened, 3 to 4 minutes longer. If you find the mixture starting to brown, turn down the heat.
• Stir in the tomatoes, chicken broth and milk and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has a thick, gravy consistency. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.Note: If you feel the gravy is too thick, add a little extra chicken broth and milk in equal amounts.
• To serve, plate individual servings of the chicken, spoon a little gravy on top, and place the remaining gravy in a bowl to pass at the table. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice or biscuits.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS AND LEGS WITH TOMATO

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Arrange the chicken thighs and legs on a tray in a single layer and season them with salt, to taste. Turn the pieces on their other side and season again. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, carefully add the chicken to the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Resist the temptation to move or turn the pieces. Allow them to brown on their first side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use metal tongs to turn the chicken pieces to sear their second side, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a tray and set it aside.
• In the same skillet, add the cumin seeds and chili flakes, stirring rapidly to give them a quick toast, about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the onions, ginger and garlic and stir to combine. Season the ingredients with salt, to taste, then add the tomatoes, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Allow the mixture to cook and all the flavors to come together, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan, keep the heat low and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes. (Chef's note: If the sauce becomes overly thick or begins to stick to the bottom of the skillet, feel free to add some water, about 1/2 cup at a time.)
• When the chicken is cooked through, remove and discard the cinnamon sticks and bay leaves. Taste for seasoning and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve alongside the braised cabbage, if desired.

CHICKEN IN CREAMY TOMATO CURRY: CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator up to overnight.
• For the sauce: When you're ready to make the curry, place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the Ginger-Garlic Paste and serrano peppers. Saute until lightly browned around the edges. Add the tomato paste and cook until the tomato has darkened in color, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and the paprika and saute for about 1 minute to draw out their flavors.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer, and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. You may need more water depending on how much liquid the tomatoes give off.
• Meanwhile, fire up your grill. When it is nice and hot, lightly brush it with oil. Place the chicken on the grill, shaking off some of the excess marinade. Cook until it's charred, about 2 minutes on each side. (Don't worry that the chicken will still be a little uncooked, it finishes cooking in the sauce).
• Pour the sauce into a blender or food processor, or use an immersion blender, and process until smooth. Pour back into the skillet and bring back up to a boil. Add the chicken and fenugreek leaves, if using. Take the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the cream and stir through. Garnish with minced fresh cilantro, and serve over rice, with naan, or a crusty piece of bread!
• Throw the garlic, ginger, and canola oil in a mini-food processor and let it go until it forms a semi-smooth paste. There will still be tiny little pieces in there, but overall, it should resemble a paste.
• Save what you don't use in a small glass jar. It should last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It's a delicious addition to marinades, pasta sauces, stir fry sauces, slow-cooker recipes, gravy etc. We always had a jar of this stuff in our fridge growing up.
