Description

A classic Italian hunter-style stew with tender chicken simmered in a rich tomato and vegetable sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in white wine to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
