2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 small carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 ounces baked ham, diced
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 bay leaf
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy skillet over
medium heat. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook 5
minutes, until vegetables soften. Add garlic and ham
and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
2. Heat remaining oil and brown chicken thighs. Add wine,
broth and bay leaf to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low
and cook 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through
and most of the liquid is reduced. Return vegetables
and ham to skillet. Mix well, heat through 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
This is more of a braise than a stew because there is very little
cooking liquid. The wine imparts a rich flavor, but almost all of
the alcohol evaporates as the dish simmers.
