For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of leg quarters. Browning the chicken is key to developing a deep, savory flavor. If you don't have an oven-safe pot, you can transfer the mixture to a baking dish after simmering on the stovetop. Fresh herbs make a big difference in this recipe! If you don't have fresh oregano, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried oregano. Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots to the sauce. A splash of heavy cream at the end can add a touch of richness and creaminess.
