Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side down, and sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, making sure they are partially submerged in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
Simmer the chicken for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the lid and stir in the fresh basil. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the chicken hot, spooned over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, with the tomato and wine sauce generously ladled on top.
