Description

This Chicken Osso-Bucco Style dish offers a comforting twist on the classic Italian braised shank. By using bone-in chicken thighs, you get that deep, savory richness without the long cooking time. The chicken simmers in a robust sauce of stewed tomatoes, garlic, and aromatic vegetables like celery, carrots, and onions. The result is tender meat that falls off the bone and a thick, flavorful sauce perfect for spooning over rice or polenta. It&# 226;€™s an excellent choice for a cozy weeknight dinner or a casual family gathering. The bright notes of lemon zest and fresh parsley added at the end cut through the richness, balancing the hearty tomato base. Simple ingredients come together to create a meal that feels both rustic and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess skin and fat from the chicken thighs, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat the salad oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season the chicken thighs with salt, then add them to the hot skillet.
  4. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown on all sides.
  5. Remove the browned chicken from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
  6. Dice the celery, onion, and carrots into small, uniform pieces.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and add the diced vegetables to the drippings in the skillet.
  8. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.
  9. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.
  10. Pour the can of Italian-style stewed tomatoes over the chicken and vegetables.
  11. Increase heat to high and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
  12. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer.
  13. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fork-tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  14. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated lemon peel.
  15. Serve immediately with crusty bread or over polenta to soak up the sauce.
