Ready in: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients:

• One 3 1/2 pound chicken, cut into pieces
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup thinly sliced onions
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/3 cup white wine
• 2 cups peeled and chopped, firm ripe tomatoes (or canned plum tomatoes in their juice)

Directions:

• Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat, add the onions and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally.
• Push the onions to the side.
• Add the garlic and chicken pieces, skin-side down.
• Cook until the chicken skin is golden brown, then turn pieces over and brown on the other side.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper, on both sides.
• Add wine and simmer until reduced by half.
• Add the tomatoes, lower the heat and cover the skillet with the lid slightly ajar.
• Cook the chicken in the simmering liquid, turning and basting from time to time.
• Cook until the thighs are very tender and the meat is almost falling off the bones, about 40 minutes.
• If the stew ever starts to dry out, add a couple tablespoons of water.
