📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin-side down, and cook until browned on both sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3. Add the butter to the same pan, and once melted, add the chopped shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to release their moisture and turn golden brown.

5. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate all the browned bits.

6. Add the chicken stock, tomato paste, chopped plum tomatoes, and thyme. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

7. Return the chicken pieces to the pan, covering them with some of the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

8. Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

9. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish just before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or mashed potatoes.
