Pollo al Disco

Weeknight-friendly Argentinian cooking: Pollo al Disco comes together in 60 minutes with chicken thighs, onions, and not much else. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 54 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 2.5 lb Chicken thighs
• 2 Onions
• 2 Red bell peppers
• 4 Tomatoes
• 1 cup White wine
• 1/2 cup Cream
• 1 tbsp Paprika

Steps

1. Brown the chicken thighs hard in a wide heavy pan — the disco's whole trick is a fierce sear before the braise.
2. Soften the onions and peppers in the chicken fat, add paprika off the heat so it blooms without burning.
3. Add chopped tomatoes and wine, scraping up every browned bit, then return the chicken to simmer 25 minutes.
4. Stir in the cream at the end for a silky pink sauce; serve straight from the pan with crusty bread for mopping.
5. The sauce only improves overnight — this is one of those rare chicken dishes better on day two.
