30 Minute Chicken Puttanesca

30 Minute Chicken Puttanesca. Juicy chicken thighs simmered in a rich tomato broth with olives and capers.

Chicken-Puttanesca

I have always been a huge olive lover and Puttanesca sauce is one of my favorites dishes. Puttanesca sauce is a super easy tomato based sauce with olives, capers, onions and garlic. The olives and capers add a nice saltiness and brininess to the sauce.

I love this dish for many reason: 1. It uses up a lot of pantry staples: diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. 2. It is ready in under 30 minutes! 3. You can also bake this dish OR make it in the slow cooker!

For all 3 cooking methods the chicken first get’s browned in a hot pan to crisp up the skin. Then it get’s simmered in the tomato and olive based broth. The chicken thighs come out super tender and moist from simmering in the broth. You can either finish cooking the chicken on the stove top or in the oven. Everything can also be thrown in a slow cooker and cooked low and slow for hours.
