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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Brown the chicken in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer the browned chicken to the crock pot.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gently stir to distribute the ingredients around the chicken thighs.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 8

Discard the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Corsican chicken with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
