    1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
    2 large red peppers, sliced
    1 cubanelle pepper, sliced
    1 large carrot, sliced
    1/2 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    1 6 oz can tomato paste
    1 bay leaf
    1 tbsp dried oregano
    1 tbsp dried basil
    2 tbsp ancho chile paste
    1 cup red wine

Directions

Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add chicken and saute until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Add onions and saute until richly browned.
Stir in peppers, carrot and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms wilt and brown.
Add garlic and saute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, then cook (stirring constantly) until the paste darkens slightly.
Add bay leaf, oregano, basil and chile paste.
Add the wine, stock and water, stirring to dislodge all the browned bits, then mix in the tomatoes.
