Instructions
-
In a pot, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic and any diced onions become golden brown and fragrant, creating a warm base for your stew.
-
Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the pot, ensuring they are evenly coated in the aromatic oil. Pour in the water and white wine, followed by the tomato paste, fresh rosemary, and oregano. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a lively boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer gently. Cook for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when most of the liquid has evaporated, the chicken is slightly browned on the bottom, and it effortlessly falls apart when pulled with a fork.
-
The resulting sauce will be a rich and delicious tomato wine blend; aim to retain some gravy for an extra burst of flavor in your serving. If you notice the mixture becoming too dry, feel free to add a splash more of water or wine to maintain the desired consistency.
This Stewed Chicken with Wine Sauce not only pleases the palate but also provides a comforting and nourishing meal, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy this dish with your choice of sides, particularly those rosemary French fried potatoes for a delightful pairing!
