Introduction

Lite and healthy version of Veal Osso Buco Lite and healthy version of Veal Osso Buco
Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    6 boneless chicken thighs
    2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    1 cup celery, chopped
    2 carrots, chopped
    1/2 cup onion, chopped
    1 cup mushrooms, chopped
    2 Tbsp shallots, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    3 oz. red wine
    1 cup homemade chicken STOCK or storebought STOCK, NOT Broth (broth is much saltier)
    8 oz. can no-salt tomato sauce
    12 to 14 oz diced tomatoes, no salt added (liquid too!)
    3 full-length sprigs fresh rosemary
    1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
    1/2 bay leaf
    1 tsp. lemon zest (peel)
    dash of dried red pepper flakes
    1 squeeze of anchovy paste (about an inch)
    2 dashes kosher salt
    1 dash black pepper
    1 Tbsp flour
    1 pat unsalted butter
    (For convenience, I sometimes use storebought frozen stew vegetables instead of chopping up fresh - but don't put bagged potatoes in until the last 45 minutes, because they'll get mushy.)

Directions

Saute chicken thighs in 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet -- remove, and set aside.

Add 1 Tbsp olive oil, heat, and add celery, carrots, onions, and mushrooms - saute until carmelized.

Add shallots and garlic, cook for 2 minutes.

Add red wine, scrape up bits of meat from bottom.

Add remaining ingredients and return chicken to skillet.

Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer covered (with lid cracked a bit) for 1 to 2 hours (until chicken is tender and falling apart).

Delicious served over brown rice with garden salad on the side.

    Despite the long list of ingredients, this was quick to prepare and cooked in 75 min. I used 11 thighs for 4 people. Do not increase the sauce, there is already more than enough to serve with rice(I used), or pasta. I thickened it in the final minutes with a small slurry of cornstarch and water. - 2/3/09

    Yummy! I served this to my family and my grown son, daughter, & husband all loved it. I didn't have any red wine so I used white zinfandel, and I increased the veggies because I only had 4 thighs so I added 2 breasts. Couldn't figure out what the pat of butter was for so I left that out. A Keeper!!! - 4/21/09

    This was excellent. Very fresh, great for leftovers. Sauce was perfect for serving over rice with a bang up job for flavor. Will definately make it again and a great option for freezing leftovers . - 8/10/08

    Had to make a special trip ti the market for stuff I don't cook with. I'm not sure it was worth it. Tasted fine but I'll have to make it three or four time to use up these herbs. I didn't add the wine. - 3/11/19

    This sounds so great. I'm going to give it a try. It says something about potatoes at the bottom of the recipe but I don't see potatoes in the list of ingredients. Can someone let me know.
    Thanks

    WOW This is hands down the best recipe I have ever made from this site. Didn't add the red pepper because we are not fans of spicey food and we didn't have the anchovy paste but again WOW - 3/3/12

    This was fantastic! We used breasts (3) instead of thighs. 1/2 low sodium vegetable broth and 1/2 low sodium chicken broth (veg is lower yet in sodium) and sprinkled parmesan on top. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Much appreciated! - 8/30/09

    This sounds really awesome. The comment about putting it over polenta was a great idea. I love the pork version, so this should be good. - 4/8/09
