Video Recipe: Preparation of Mediterranean Chicken Dinner

Ingredients

For the tomato mixture:

• 4 tbsp tomato paste
• 1½ cups water
• ⅛ tsp sweet paprika
• ⅛ tsp pepper
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp Chef’s Selection Classic—Delicate (black and white tin)

For the olive oil marinade:

• ⅛ tsp sweet paprika
• ⅛ tsp pepper
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ½ cup Chef’s Selection Classic—Delicate (black and white tin)
• dry herbs mix (parsley, dill, basil), to taste

For the chicken

• 6 bone-less chicken thighs, skinned
• ¼ to ½ cup Chef’s Selection Classic—Delicate (black and white tin), for browning and cooking chicken pieces (personal taste determines the amount used)
• ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
• ¼ tsp pepper, or to taste
• ¼ tsp sweet paprika, or to taste

For the pasta

• spaghetti or penne rigate, whichever is preferred

For plating

• oregano, fresh, to taste

Preparation

For the tomato sauce: In a measuring cup, small bowl or beaker measure in the ingredients and mix with a spoon. Set aside.

For the olive oil marinade: In a small bowl, mix the ingredients. Marinate the chicken pieces for a few minutes (or several hours if placed in the refrigerator for later use).

To cook the chicken: To a large skillet, add Chef’s Selection Classic. Add the marinated chicken and brown nicely on both sides. Add the tomato sauce, return to fire, turn low and let it slowly simmer for 1 hour or until the red sauce is reduced to a thickened (and delicious!) mixture of tomato and olive oil.

Prepare pasta: Twenty minutes before the chicken is finished prepare pasta of preference.

Serve the chicken and pasta side by side and cover both with a few tablespoons of red sauce and fresh oregano sprinkled on top.

Serving suggestion: A Greek Village Salad with a drizzle of PJ KABOS Family Reserve Organic – Robust (black bottle).

A full-bodied, extra virgin olive oil, PJ KABOS Family Reserve Organic - Robust, is a very high phenolic oil that adds depth, character and great health benefits to this meal.

Over all, this dinner is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors, a true gastronomic delight that transports your taste buds to sun-kissed coastal villages and the heart of simple Greek cuisine. It’s perfect for all year long but especially as the gentle days of summer turn cooler with the cozy wonder of fall.

But mostly, indulging in these two mindfully produced extra virgin olive oils—the one that is of delicate taste intensity and the other organic and robust—is the choice "For those who want to be good to their bodies."

Note: In Greece, this recipe often goes by the simple title: Chicken in Red Sauce.
