Chicken Escabeche Recipe

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 3 ounces carrots, julienned
  • 3 ounces white onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • teaspoon salt
  • cup red wine vinegar
  • cup dry white wine
  • cup water
  • 1 teaspoon achiote powder
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven. Add the chicken to the hot oil and brown on one side for about 5 minutes.
  2. Flip the chicken and add the carrots, white onion, red onion, bay leaves, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Stir the ingredients together and cook until the vegetables have softened and the chicken has browned, about 8 minutes.
  3. Pour in the red wine vinegar, white wine, and water into the Dutch oven. Add the achiote powder and cayenne pepper, and stir everything together.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165F (74C), about 15 minutes.

My family thought it required additional salt, but I was satisfied with the seasonings.
