(19)

Because it's cooked only briefly, the tomato sauce is incredibly fresh-tasting and not too heavy. Serve with thick slices of garlic bread.

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 large chicken thighs with skin and bones (about 1 1/3 pounds)
3/4 pound fresh mild or hot Italian sausages
3/4 pound large mushrooms, quartered
2 12-ounce containers grape tomatoes
1/2 cup dry red wine
3 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken and sausages to skillet. Sauté until brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken and sausages to bowl.

    Step 2

    Add mushrooms to skillet. Sauté until brown, about 4 minutes; add to same bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; add tomatoes, red wine, garlic, and rosemary. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Using potato masher, lightly crush half of tomatoes. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Add remaining contents of bowl and simmer uncovered until chicken and sausages are cooked through, turning often, about 15 minutes longer.

    Step 3

    Place chicken and sausages on platter. Cut sausages on diagonal into thick slices. Stir basil into sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over chicken.
