Description
A delightful recipe for Savory Chicken Thigh Osso Bucco, featuring tender chicken thighs cooked in a rich sauce with vegetables and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, thyme, oregano, bay leaf, and return the browned chicken thighs to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the bay leaf and stir in the lemon zest. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chicken osso bucco hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of tomato paste when sautéing the vegetables.
- Serve over creamy polenta or mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
