How To Make spanish chicken and shrimp

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350F. Cut each chicken breast in half. Sprinkle all chicken with flour.
  • 2
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Quickly brown the chicken on both sides and remove each piece as it browns and set aside.
  • 3
    Add onions, carrots and garlic. Cook, stirring, until onions are limp. Add brandy and ignite. Stand back until the flames subside. Tilt pan and stir slowly until flames die.
  • 4
    Transfer mixture to an ovenproof casserole.
  • 5
    Add wine, chicken stock and reserved chicken pieces to the casserole. Cover and bake at 350° F for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender. The recipe may be made ahead to this point.
  • 6
    When ready to serve, reheat the mixture and then add the shrimp. Stir to combine.
  • 7
    Cover and cook just until shrimp are pink, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in parsley.
  • 8
    Serve with some of the sauce spooned over the chicken and shrimp.
