1 small chicken cut in to 10 pieces and skinned
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 large carrot, sliced
4 cups diced tomato
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano, or 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled

Add the onion, carrot, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomato, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more. Return the chicken to the casserole, add the wine, and reduce it over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the water, bouillon cube, sun-dried tomatoes, dried red pepper, if desired, and more salt to taste, bring to a boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes more, or until chicken is tender. Add olives and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a serving plate and reduce sauce over moderately high heat until lightly thickened. Discard bay leaves, spoon sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 two-and-one-half- to three-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
1/3 cup, plus 1 tablespoon, olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
Salt, if desired
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup marinara sauce (see recipe)
Polenta (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Carefully remove the bones from the chicken pieces or have this done by the butcher. Cut each breast half in two, crosswise.
  • Heat one tablespoon of oil and cook the onions, stirring, until lightly brown. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining one-third cup of oil in a heavy skillet or casserole.
  • Dredge the pieces of chicken lightly in flour and shake off the excess. Add the pieces, skin side down, to the skillet and cook until golden on one side, about three minutes. Turn the pieces and cook on the second side, about three minutes.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the butter and garlic to the chicken. Add the onion, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to blend. Add the wine and cook about one minute.
  • Add the chicken broth and marinara sauce. Bring to the boil and cover closely. Let cook, covered, over high heat about 15 minutes or until tender. Serve with portions of polenta.
