3largechicken breastsfillet into 6 thin cuts of chicken breast
Kosher saltto taste
Ground black pepperto taste
1medium onionsliced into thin rings
2-3clovesfresh garlic, smashed
1cupred wine
1 14.5 ouncecan chicken broth(you can also use beef broth if that's what you have on hand)
2Tablespoonstomato paste
Water(optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towel and season well with salt and pepper on both sides.
In batches, sear each chicken piece until browned on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side and then place them into a side plate. Make sure you don't overload the pan!
Once all the chicken is browned and out of the pan, add the remaining Tablespoon of oil (only if needed) and then add sliced onion and smashed garlic.
Season them with salt and pepper to taste and saute them stirring constantly for a minute or two.
Next, add the wine to the pan and scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan.
After the wine has simmered for a minute or two, add broth and tomato paste. Stir well to combine and add the chicken pieces back into the pan. Bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for an hour, stirring periodically. If it starts to dry out, add a little water (I didn't run into this issue). Serve immediately after the hour is up.
