The most traditional chicken stew
Each area of our country has chicken stews in their recipes and there are many who We enjoy our trips through different Autonomous Communities. Perhaps the most traditional dishes are the chicken in pepitoria and the chicken al chilindrón. This can be prepared with Thermomix, but we summarize here the traditional chilindrón chicken recipe, which all cooks should know.
Season the chicken pieces. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and lightly brown. We withdraw and reserve. We prepare a stir-fry. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Peel and chop the onion. Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan or casserole and cook both over a very low heat for five minutes. Meanwhile we wash the peppers, remove their stems and seeds and cut into small squares (mirepox). Add the peppers to the pan, the bay leaf and continue cooking for five more minutes. Peel the tomatoes, grate them and add to the pan. Stir, season to taste and cook for a couple of minutes over high heat letting the tomato water evaporate. Finally, add the wine and the chicken, adjust the salt and pepper point again, cover the pan and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked inside and the sauce has become thick. The time will depend on the size of the chicken pieces chosen. Serve immediately or let cool before storing in the fridge.
