Categories     Chicken

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c butter
8 - 10 bone in, with skin chicken thighs or could use breasts as well
flour for browning chicken
salt & pepper for seasoning chicken
5 clove garlic, sliced
2 stalk(s) celery. sliced about 1/2 in thick
1 - 8 - 12 oz crimini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced - medium
10 baby carrots, sliced thick
1 large onion, cut in half and sliced medium thickness
1 1/2 red sweet pepper, sliced medium thickness
1 green pepper, sliced medium thickness
1 1/2 tsp crushed thyme
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 tsp oregano, dried
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or more to taste
1 - 20 oz crushed tomatoes
1 - 14.5 oz whole plum tomatoes, squeezed or 1 can chopped
2 Tbsp white or brown sugar - optional
1 c cabernet merlot wine
prepared rice or noodles

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare all veggies. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
  • 2. In a 5 - 6 quart dutch oven, melt butter into the olive oil, over medium heat. While that's heating, season chicken pieces on both sides. Pat each side in flour. Brown each side, 4 - 5 pieces at a time until golden. Place on a plate and continue browning the remaining chicken. Set aside.
  • 3. In the oil left in pot from chicken, add peppers, onion, carrots, garlic, celery...stir and cook for a few minutes.
  • 4. Then, add mushrooms;continue cooking another minute or two.
  • 5. Add the tumeric, thyme, oregano, hot pepper flakes, bay leaf...more salt and pepper. Stir.
  • 6. Add the wine, stir and cook until bubbling. Continue for a few minutes.
  • 7. Stir in the crushed and plum tomatoes. Add sugar if using...I use it to mellow out the tartness and acid of the tomato products.
  • 8. Now, place the chicken on top. Place lid on pot and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. When through, re season if need be.
  • 9. Remove the lid, and continue baking another 15 - 20 minutes. You can now - either take the chicken out and place on a plate, and cook the sauce down to thicken up on the stove top, if you like a thicker sauce. I then place the pasta or rice on each plate..add a thigh or two...then a ladle of veggie sauce over top, with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  • 10. Enjoy!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I substituted zucchini in the recipe. It was a great way to add some extra vegetables to the dish.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it turned out great.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I might have cooked it for too long.
