1. Basic Ingredients
- One chicken, cut up (or equivalent in chicken parts - thighs work well)
- 2 cups cut-up vegetables (possibly mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, see section "Variations"
- 1-2 cups wine. Do not use "cooking wine" but rather any simple, but drinkable red or white wine.
- olive oil
2. Preparation
- Heat some olive oil in large frying pan, with lid removed. Add chicken parts in small batches and brown them.
- Transfer browned chicken to plate, add vegetables to pan and sautee for 2-3 minutes.
- Add chicken parts to pan
- Add wine
-Let mixture come to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45-50 minute with lid closed, turning chicken occasionally.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- Serve with rice, pasta or just some good baguette, and of course some wine.
3. Variations
- mushrooms and red wine
- mushrooms, spring onions and white wine
- red onions, garlic and red wine

- artichoke hearts, small potatoes and white wine
Use your imagination!
