We also love the fact that it only takes about 15 minutes of actual prep work to get it into the oven! That means while the chicken gently simmers in the tomato, anchovy, olive, and caper sauce you can fold laundry or play with the cat! While puttanesca sauce is typically served with pasta, we think this version with tender bone-in chicken thighs will become a new classic! The key to this recipe is browning the chicken, then cooking it in the sauce with the skin exposed which yields crispy-skinned chicken. And the chicken meat soaks up the richly flavored sauce while it cooks making it ultra tasty! Serve it with fresh bread or spoon it over linguine. Or to keep it grain-free, pair it with spaghetti squash. And the leftovers are possibly even better because the chicken really takes on the flavor of the sauce! To serve this recipe, let the chicken cool in the sauce for several minutes. Sprinkle on some basil, parsley, or oregano then lift the chicken out of the sauce with a slotted spatula and transfer it to a plate. Spoon the sauce around it.
