For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the red wine and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have anchovy paste, you can substitute 2-3 finely chopped anchovy fillets. Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers or mushrooms. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Place the chicken in the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (approximately 8 minutes). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
02
StepReduce the heat to medium-low. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften and become translucent (about 3 minutes).
03
StepPour in the red wine and simmer, allowing it to reduce to about 1/4 cup (1-2 minutes). This step intensifies the flavors of the sauce.
04
StepAdd the crushed tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, olives, anchovy paste, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
05
StepReturn the chicken thighs and drumsticks to the pan, along with any accumulated juices. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes.
06
StepAdd the chicken breasts to the pan. Continue to simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork (approximately 10 minutes more).
07
StepStir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper just before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or polenta to soak up the delicious sauce.
