Description
A warm and comforting dish featuring tender chicken simmered with mushrooms, peppers, and a rich tomato-wine sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (about 14.5 oz, do not drain)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small Parmesan rind
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a pan over moderate heat and add olive oil.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add half the chicken, skin side down, and cook until the skin is browned and crispy. Turn and cook another 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Repeat with remaining chicken in small batches. Keep 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the pan.
- Add mushrooms, chopped onion, and a pinch of salt to the pan with reserved drippings. Cook over medium-high heat until veggies brown and moisture evaporates.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in flour and cook while stirring for a few minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Stir in diced tomatoes (do not drain), white wine, tomato paste, Parmesan rind, bay leaves, thyme, chopped red bell pepper, and oregano. Mix well.
- Remove the skin from the chicken and discard it. Add skinless chicken pieces to the pan, pressing into sauce.
- Bring to a boil, cover, and lower heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until chicken is tender, about 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove and discard bay leaves and Parmesan rind. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and serve over hot cooked spaghetti or polenta.
Notes
For a spicier dish, add more crushed red pepper flakes. Use a dry white wine you enjoy drinking for best flavor.
