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:
- 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.
- In the same pot, add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- 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.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for brightness. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
