Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 cups chopped onions
4 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 14- to 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice

Grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix in onions, celery, garlic, and fennel seeds. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until vegetables and chicken are tender, about 15 minutes. Add escarole; simmer until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Serve, passing cheese separately.
