Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon minced garlic
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), skin removed
1 pound yellow potatoes, diced
4 medium carrots, diced
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup Castelvetrano olives, quartered
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1 sprig Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Mash garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt with a fork to form a paste. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon oil, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.
  • Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and top with the garlic mixture.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and carrots and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to brown and stick to the pan, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, olives and capers; cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, for 1 minute. Nestle the chicken into the pan, cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching the bone registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley, if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 chicken thighs, bone and skin left on
1 (15 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon celery powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white wine
3 tablespoons olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Sear the chicken thighs in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the chicken and lock in the juices.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the chicken thighs. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
  • Add some liquid to the slow cooker to help keep the chicken thighs moist. Good options include chicken broth, white wine, or even just water.
  • Cook the chicken thighs on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is cooked through and easily falls off the bone.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

Sicilian chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken thighs are cooked in a slow cooker with a variety of seasonings, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish.
