Ingredients

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    4 chicken thighs, skinned
    1.5 cups chopped onion
    .5 cup cubed carrot
    .5 cup coarsely chopped celery
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    3/4 cup dry white wine
    2.5 cups chopped tomato (about 2 pounds)
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Directions

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet (or dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan.

Add onion, carrot, celery, and 2 garlic cloves (with 1 tsp oil if needed). Cover and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Stir in tomato, basil, and rosemary; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 15 minutes.

Return chicken to pan. Cover and simmer 35 minutes or until chicken is done. Uncover and cook 5 minutes or until tomato mixture thickens.

Make 4 servings, 1 thigh and about 1.5 cups of vegetable mixture. Serve over wild rice or polenta.
