Chicken with tomatoes

Without adding water to the pot, chicken with tomatoes relies on the juices released by the ripe tomatoes. The onion and peppers soften under the lid, while half the tomatoes stay in slices, nestled in a sauce with pieces of vegetables. I really like the smell of fresh dill that rises when I add the herbs at the end. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cook time: 58 minutes. Total time: 78 minutes. Serves: 4.

Ingredients
- 1 kg bone-in chicken wings
- 30 ml olive oil
- 1 medium red onion (150 g)
- 1 medium white onion (150 g)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 medium carrot (80 g)
- 1 red bell pepper (150 g)
- 1 green bell pepper (150 g)
- 1 kg ripe garden tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 bay leaves
- 15 g dill
- 15 g parsley
Preparation
1. Slice the red onion into thin strips and finely chop the white onion. Slice one pepper into thin strips and cut the other into large dice. Finely grate the carrot, crush the garlic with the flat of a knife, and chop the herbs. 2. Heat 30 ml olive oil in a large pot. Sauté the onions and garlic for 8 minutes, stirring, until the onion softens. 3. Add the carrot and peppers and cook for 5 minutes, until they start to soften. 4. Add the chicken wings to the pot and sauté for 10 minutes, turning them, until lightly browned. 5. Purée 500 g of the tomatoes and slice the other 500 g. Add them to the chicken along with the curry powder, paprika, salt, pepper, coriander, bay leaves, and 7.5 g each of dill and parsley. Do not add water. Cover and cook for 35 minutes, stirring now and then, until the meat is cooked through and the juices near the bone run clear. 6. Sprinkle the remaining 7.5 g each of dill and parsley over the top.
Notes
Keeps in the fridge in a covered container for up to 3 days; the sauce thickens as it cools. Mashed potatoes are a good side, and the sauce gathers nicely beside them on the plate. For fewer servings, you can halve the amounts of the vegetables along with the wings. The dish is a little like a chicken stew, but the tomato slices stay whole in the sauce. Small wings cook faster than large ones, so check the thickest piece near the bone. Choose ripe but firm tomatoes; very juicy ones can make the sauce thinner. If the tomatoes are watery, leave the pot uncovered toward the end so the sauce can reduce. A small blender is enough for puréeing half the tomatoes, so there’s no need to purée the whole pot.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use breast instead of wings?
Yes. Cut 1 kg of chicken breast into pieces of about 4 cm and let it cook in the sauce for 18 minutes, until cooked through.
Can I use frozen wings?
Yes, but thaw them for 12 hours in the fridge and pat them dry well before adding them to the pot.
Can I leave out the puréed tomatoes?
Yes. Cut that half into 1 cm cubes too; the sauce will have more pieces and will thicken less evenly.
