Ingredients

  • 3 lb bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 bay leaf

Directions

  1. 1Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
  2. 2Brown the chicken in olive oil for 4 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
  3. 3Cook mushrooms and onion for 6 minutes, then add garlic and tomato paste.
  4. 4Pour in white wine and simmer for 3 minutes, scraping the pan.
  5. 5Add chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, and browned chicken.
  6. 6Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes until the chicken is tender.
