Greek-Style Saffron Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for coating
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken parts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups white wine
  • 2 pinches saffron threads
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 3/4 cup raisins
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Prepare the breading station by mixing salt and pepper into the flour, then coat chicken pieces evenly with the seasoned powder.
2
Next, heat a generous amount of butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken pieces into the skillet, ensuring they are fully submerged in the hot oil. Cook for approximately 6 minutes on each side, or until a golden brown color is achieved.
3
Following the browning process, add sliced shallots, chopped onions, and minced garlic to the skillet. Allow these ingredients to soften and become translucent, approximately 3 minutes later.
4
Subsequently, add diced tomatoes and a splash of wine to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before adding saffron, curry powder, sugar, plump raisins, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Combine these ingredients thoroughly to create a rich sauce.
5
Finally, cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
