Chef John's Italian Chicken Stew
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 whole roasting chicken, cut in quarters
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 3 sprigs rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature, equivalent to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over an elevated heat setting; add chicken and cook until it develops a rich brown color on the exterior. Carefully transfer the chicken to a separate container to preserve its juices.
3
Introduce sliced onions and button mushrooms into the pot, stirring constantly as they soften over a period of 5-6 minutes. Add a judicious amount of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
4
Add minced garlic, dried rosemary, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and oregano to the pot; stir well to combine. Introduce a store-bought or homemade tomato sauce and water into the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
5
Place the cooked chicken pieces and any accumulated juices from the container on top of the sautéed vegetables. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, then place sliced peppercorns on top of the chicken.
6
Cover the pot and cook in the preheated oven for a prolonged period of 1 hour and 15 minutes.
