Tuscan chicken

I discovered the taste of Tuscan chicken during a trip to a small Italian taverna. Since then, it has become a regular on my family's menu. The harmony of the spicy braised chicken and the juicy tomato sauce is simply irresistible. If you love Italian cuisine and the extensive use of chicken, this recipe is a must-try.

Directions

50 min.
1. Step

Wash the chicken legs thoroughly, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Allow time to cook in the pan, as this step will give the meat a nice caramelised flavour.

2. Step

Set the chicken thighs aside, and in the pan sauté the finely chopped onion and crushed garlic. It is important not to burn them, as they can become bitter and spoil the flavour of the dish.

3. Step

Once the onions have been glazed, add the wine and the canned tomatoes. Add basil, salt and pepper to taste and cook for a few minutes. Don't skip the wine, its acidic taste perfectly complements the sweetness of the tomatoes and the flavour of the chicken.

4. Step

Return the chicken thighs to the pan, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes until the chicken is completely tender. The low heat and long cooking time will give the chicken a super crumbly texture.

5. Step

Serve with fresh, crusty bread or pasta. And the freshness of the basil brings out the flavours of the tomatoes and chicken perfectly.
