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

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

Remove the lid and stir in the fresh basil. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Serve the chicken hot, spooned over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, with the tomato and wine sauce generously ladled on top.
