01 Step

Recipe View In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and have released their moisture (about 8-10 minutes). Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Recipe View Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken thighs, garlic halves, and chopped rosemary in the hot oil. Brown the chicken on all sides until golden brown (about 6-8 minutes per side).

Recipe View Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the chicken and mushrooms. Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Bring the wine to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.

Recipe View Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer gently for 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender and cooked through.

Recipe View Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and Nicoise olives. Replace the cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened and the olives have warmed through. Serve hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The skin will crisp up beautifully during the browning process and add depth to the sauce.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms. A mix of mushrooms will add complexity to the dish.
If you don't have Nicoise olives, you can substitute Kalamata olives or any other brined olive.
Serve this fricassee with a crusty baguette for soaking up the delicious sauce, or alongside a bed of creamy polenta or mashed potatoes.

    I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and it was still very good, although the thighs are definitely more flavorful.
