How to make chicken puttanesca
Prepare the chicken: rub the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken: add chicken and cook, until cooked through and golden-brown on both sides, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside on a plate. You might have to cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, so divide the oil if so.
Make the puttanesca sauce: add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the hot skillet, and sauté the garlic and anchovy for 1 minute. Add in the tomatoes and oregano. Use the back of a wooden spoon to crush the tomatoes into small pieces. Stir in the capers, olives; Simmer over low heat partially covered, for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Re-add the chicken back into the sauce: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Return the chicken to the pan and spoon over the sauce. Allow it to cook for a bit more into the sauce, until hot.
Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy. Serve with warm crusty bread.
