Chicken breasts in putanesca sauce

Ingredients

Chicken fillet - 14.1 oz
Salted anchovies in oil - 8 pieces
Garlic - 3 cloves
Crushed Tomatoes in Their Own Juice - 14.1 oz
Olives stuffed with lemon - 14 pieces
Capers - 2 spoons
Sugar - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces (about 1.5 cm), season lightly with salt and pepper. Chop the anchovies with a knife. Peel and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of oil from the anchovy can in a skillet. Add the mixture to the warm oil and stir, heating until the fish pieces dissolve.

Step 3

Place the pieces of chicken in the skillet and cook them for about 3 minutes — the chicken should turn white.

Step 4

Add garlic, tomatoes with their juice, olives, capers, sugar, and chili flakes. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with rice, quinoa, or couscous.
