    Preparation Steps

    1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    2

    In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion, crushed garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery until softened and fragrant.

    3

    Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and bay leaves, then pour in the red wine. Bring to a simmer and let the alcohol evaporate.

    4

    Return the chicken to the skillet, then pour in the passata (sieved tomatoes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    5

    Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally.

    6

    Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread, polenta, or cooked pasta.
