Ingredients
2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 large chicken breasts fillet into 6 thin cuts of chicken breast
1 teaspoon Kosher salt to taste
¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper to taste
1 medium onion sliced into thin rings
3 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and smashed
1 cup red grape juice
14.5 ounces chicken broth (you can also use beef broth if that’s what you have on hand)
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
Water (optional)
Instructions
1. In a wide pan, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Dry the chicken breast slices with a paper towel and generously sprinkle both sides with Kosher salt and ground black pepper.
3. Cook the chicken slices in groups, browning each side for 1-2 minutes, then transfer them to a separate plate. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
4. After browning all the chicken, add the onion rings and smashed garlic to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to your liking, and stir them for a minute or two.
5. Push the onion and garlic to the sides of the pan and put the tomato paste in the center. Cook for a few minutes while stirring frequently, then mix it into the onions and garlic.
6. Pour the red grape juice into the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
7. Once the juice has simmered for two minutes, pour in the chicken broth. Mix well, then return the chicken pieces to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
8. When it starts boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover the pan, and let it simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a bit of water. Serve right after an hour.
