Sunday Dinner: Spanish Chicken and Green Beans

This very easy chicken recipe has quickly become one of our regular favorites.  The sauce goes quite well with simply steamed green beans, making it a perfect “one pot” meal.

  4 small boneless chicken breasts or 8 boneless chicken thighs
  1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  4 oz brandy
  olive oil
  8 thin slices Serrano ham, cut into small pieces
  1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  salt to taste

Heat a few tablespoons of oil into a large heavy bottom frying pan to medium-high. Add chicken and ham and brown chicken on both sides (approximately 5-8 minutes). Add onions, chopped garlic, tomatoes and brandy to chicken, stirring to mix. Cook uncovered on medium-low until onions become transparent. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until chicken is done.

Serve with steamed green beans smothered in sauce and roasted baby potatoes and enjoy!

Delicious! I love how colorful your plates are–now that I'm living at home I actually have time to prepare vegetables in ways other than heating them in the microwave between classes, haha!

This looks lovely. Will have to switch up the chicken for tofu and I'm game!
