Chicken Puttanesca

Spaghetti alla puttanesca is a classic Italian pasta dish with a sauce consisting of tomatoes, olive oil, anchovies, olives, capers and garlic. I make spaghetti alla puttanesca fairly often and sometimes I like to add chicken to the mix, especially chicken thighs, with their crispy and tasty skins! After browning the chickens skin in a pan it is simmered/braised/roasted in the sauce so that all of the juices and drippings infuses the sauce with the chickens flavour! You can either make this quickly, in less than 30 minutes, or you can do it as a slower braise/roast which will bring out even more of the flavours depending on whether you have the time or if you want the flavour. Throw the chicken puttanesca on some pasta and you have one quick, easy, tasty and hearty meal.
