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.
How do you make Chicken, Zucchini and Mushrooms in a Chianti Wine Sauce?
For this recipe you’ll need cut up chicken parts, oil, Chianti wine, crushed tomatoes, basil, garlic, zucchini and Portobello 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!

Thanks Lisa!
Nice braise! I have a similar recipe I’ve been meaning to try but I’ve been waiting for cooler weather.
Thanks DB, it’s been so rainy and cold here it was the perfect comfort food meal. 🙂
Looks fabulous Carrie! Do you serve it over pasta? Nettie
Thanks Nettie! I would serve it over egg noodles or rice. 🙂
Looks great! What would you suggesst as a replacement for the tomatoes? I am intolerant to them.
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.
This looks wonderful. Cheers!
Thank you Christine, it’s a wonderful dish to make especially now when the weather is cooler. Enjoy!
