Chicken thighs cooked slowly in a Dutch oven with fresh zucchini, Portobello mushrooms, garlic and basil in a Chianti wine sauce.
This Chicken, Zucchini & Portobello Mushrooms in a Chianti Red Wine Sauce was delicious and by using chicken thighs, it was also extremely moist. Literally. Fall off of the bone moist!
I love one-pot meals. Mostly because of the easy cleanup, but there is something about having all of your ingredients meld flavors together in one pot too.
Ingredients
For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients:
- Chicken parts
- Canola oil
- Chianti wine
- Crushed tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- Minced garlic
- Zucchini
- Portobello mushrooms
How do you make Chicken, Zucchini and Mushrooms?
Start by browning the chicken in a Dutch oven on both sides, add crushed tomatoes, Chianti wine or any other dry red wine, fresh basil, garlic, zucchini and Portobello mushrooms.
Pop it in the oven and bake for about 90 minutes and dinner is served. You could also cook this in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours if you don't have a Dutch oven, but I prefer this method better. ~Enjoy!

Terri Timmins says
Looks great! What would you suggesst as a replacement for the tomatoes? I am intolerant to them.
Carrie's Experimental Kitchen says
Thanks Terri but for this recipe you would have to use the tomatoes as that is the base for the entire dish. Stay tuned next week though because I just made some Chicken Balsamico using chicken thighs and there are no tomatoes in that dish.
