CHICKEN THIGH OSSO BUCO

Chicken Thigh Osso Buco is a culinary masterpiece that takes the traditional Italian dish, Osso Buco, and gives it a delightful twist. Instead of using veal shanks, this recipe features succulent chicken thighs, making it a more accessible and budget-friendly option without compromising on flavor.

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Cooked rice, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for another 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the white wine, chicken stock, and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer over medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over rice.
