Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 carrots, finely diced
• 2 celery stalks, finely diced
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 1 cups chicken stock
• 1 cups canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoons lemon zest (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down first, until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 6

Stir in the chicken stock, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs. Mix to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest. Serve hot, paired with polenta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
