Southern Italian Braised Chicken

By

Thanks to our flavorful braising base and the use of a slow cooker, this chicken dish requires minimal hands-on time. The braising base—our version of the classic Sicilian agrodolce sauce—is a sweet-and-tangy combination of tomatoes, red bell peppers, fennel and onions, plus raisins, red wine vinegar, capers and olives.

Preparation

Step 1

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

In the stovetop-safe insert of a slow cooker over medium-high heat, warm the oil until just smoking. Working in batches, brown the chicken on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes per batch.

Return all the chicken to the insert. Transfer the insert to the slow-cooker base and add the braising base. Cover and cook on high according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the meat is fork-tender, about 2 hours.

Skim the fat off the sauce. Serve the chicken with the sauce and sautéed spinach, currants and pine nuts.
