6 servings

Our version has lighter, brighter flavours than the traditional recipe, with fennel and marinated artichokes to add extra tang.

Ingredients

  • 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp Marinara Sauce Mix, or Arrabbiata Spicy Sauce Mix
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 fennel bulb, sliced, optional
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 cups Marinara Sauce, or Arrabbiata Sauce, prepared
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 ml) crushed tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp Marinara Sauce Mix
  • 1 cup Nourish Broth, or white wine
  • 1 12 tsp Nourish Broth Mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups marinated artichokes, optional
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, toss chicken with Sauce Mix.
  2. In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook until light golden, 1 - 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate.
  3. Increase heat to high. Add onion, bell peppers, and fennel. Cook until peppers start to soften, 2 - 3 minutes.
  4. Pour in wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until wine is reduced by half. Stir in Marinara Sauce.
  5. Bring back to a boil, then partially cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10 - 15 minutes. Stir in artichokes, if desired, for the last few minutes to heat through.
