ingredients

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced `
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 (15 ounce) can Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green pepper, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

  • Step 3

    Pour in the red wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2–3 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Stir in the tomato paste, Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes, and chicken stock. Mix well.

  • Step 5

    Stir in the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Nestle the chicken thighs into the sauce.

  • Step 6

    Bring the mixture to a low boil, cover with a lid, and place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours.

  • Step 7

    Once the chicken is fork-tender, remove the lid and bake for an additional 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. Remove the bay leaves, and serve hot with your favorite side.
