Cooking Instructions
  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper and let rest while preparing the pot.
  2. In a heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear for another 5 minutes.
  4. Sauté chopped onion, carrot, and celery in the pot for about 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in minced garlic for an additional minute, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Deglaze the pot by pouring in white wine and stirring for 3-4 minutes to reduce.
  7. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, tomato paste, fresh herbs, and lemon zest, stirring well.
  8. Return the chicken thighs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce.

  11. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10-15 minutes before serving.
