Ingredients For the chicken: - 6 boneless chicken thighs - 2 cloves of garlic - 3 small onions - 3 tablespoons soy sauce - 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce - 1 tablespoon curry - 1 teaspoon sweet paprika - 1 teaspoon '5 spices' seasoning For the berry sauce: - 100 g berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, currants) - 1 clove of garlic - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 tablespoon curry - 3 tablespoons pomegranate sauce - 1 tablespoon orange blossom water - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 4 slices of chorizo sausage - 30 ml piña colada liqueur For the pasta: - 250 g pasta (for 4 servings) - 200 ml Gran Cucina sauce - 150 g green beans Instructions Step 1: Marinating the chicken 1. Start by preparing the marinade for the chicken thighs. Use a large bowl and add the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, curry, paprika, and '5 spices' seasoning. 2. Clean and crush the 2 cloves of garlic, then incorporate them into the marinade. Mix the ingredients well to achieve a homogeneous composition. 3. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well covered with the marinade. Let them marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Step 2: Preparing the pasta and green beans 1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and boil for 5 minutes until they soften slightly. Remove the beans and drain. 2. In the same water, add the pasta and boil according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta but reserve a cup of the water it was cooked in. Step 3: Baking the chicken 1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (high heat). Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. 2. Bake the chicken for 10 minutes at high heat, then reduce the temperature to 180 °C and continue baking for 20 minutes or until the meat is well cooked and juicy. Step 4: Preparing the berry sauce 1. In a small saucepan, add the olive oil and lightly sauté the chopped onion and chorizo until golden. 2. Add the crushed clove of garlic and continue sautéing for a few minutes to release the flavors. 3. Incorporate the berries and let them simmer for a few minutes, then lightly crush them with a wooden spoon. 4. Add the pomegranate sauce, orange blossom water, curry, soy sauce, and piña colada liqueur. Let the sauce simmer on low heat until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Step 5: Assembling the dish 1. In a large skillet, combine the cooked pasta with the Gran Cucina sauce and a bit of the water in which the pasta was cooked, stirring well to create a creamy sauce. 2. Add the green beans to the skillet and mix well to combine. 3. Serve the hot chicken thighs, topped with the berry sauce, alongside the pasta with green beans. Serving suggestions For an extra touch of freshness, you can add a few fresh basil leaves or chopped parsley on top of the dish. A simple green salad with lemon and olive oil dressing will pair perfectly with this meal. If you wish to enjoy a wine, a dry white wine would complement the flavors of this dish beautifully. Useful tips - If you don’t have pomegranate sauce, you can use maple syrup or honey for a sweet note. - Experiment with different berries, such as strawberries or peaches, for a sauce with varied flavors. - Store the berry sauce in the refrigerator to use as a topping for pancakes or ice cream.
