Category: Poultry

3 sm. tomatoes
4 chicken thighs
5-6 cloves garlic
1 sm. onion
1-2 C. white wine
1 C. chicken broth
olive oil
kalamata olives
fresh rosemary
fresh thyme
parsley
salt and pepper

Directions

Using a mortar and pestle, grind fresh thyme, rosemary, couple cloves of garlic and kosher salt into a paste. Rub the chicken thighs with the herb paste. Make sure to get it under the skin. Let chicken marinate for an hour....overnight wouldn't hurt. Heat large saute pan, add olive oil. On medium heat, sear the chicken thighs on both sides. Drain the fat. Add 4 or 5 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced. Add one small onion finely chopped. Saute until fragrant.



Deglaze with a couple cups of white wine. Add a cup of chicken broth (this will poach the chicken the rest of the way through).Add parsley, and more rosemary and thyme. Add olives. Add quartered tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer until liquid reduces. Serve over noodles.
