Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
12 chicken thighs
1200g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
1 stalk celery
130g
4 shallots
200g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp tomato puree
16g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
3/4 cup chicken gravy
150g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Prep Vegetables and Chicken:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Chop the celery.
- Peel and halve the shallots.
- Mince the garlic.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
2. Sear Chicken:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the pot. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. Cook Vegetables:
- In the same pot, add the shallots, garlic, mushrooms, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables start to soften and the shallots become translucent.
4. Deglaze the Pot:
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato puree and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it has reduced by half.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the canned tomatoes and chicken gravy to the pot, and stir to combine.
- Return the chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables.
- Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the dish to cook gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
6. Finish and Serve:
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chicken thighs hot with the mushroom and vegetable sauce spooned over the top.

Tips:

- Tip 1: To make this dish even healthier, consider using skinless chicken thighs or substituting with chicken breasts.

- Tip 2: For a richer flavor, allow the chicken to marinate in the garlic and olive oil for a few hours before cooking.

- Tip 3: If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to reduce.

- Tip 4: Serve this dish over a bed of brown rice or whole-grain pasta for a complete, balanced meal.

- Tip 5: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
