Recipe of the White Wine Chicken Stew, as a savory and aromatic dish perfect for cozy nights. The chicken is braised in white wine with vegetables, creating a tender, flavorful stew that balances the richness of the meat with the freshness of herbs and a hint of acidity from the wine.

Cooking time:
1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 ½ cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Recipe:

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then brown them on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, and the browned chicken thighs back into the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
5. Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for brightness. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
