Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1.5 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Brown the chicken in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer the browned chicken to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, then pour the mixture into the crock pot.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, herbes de Provence, bay leaf, remaining salt, and black pepper to the crock pot.
Gently stir to distribute the ingredients around the chicken thighs.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Discard the bay leaf before serving.
Serve the Corsican chicken with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
