Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cut each chicken thigh into 5 or 6 pieces. Lightly season with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat olive oil and butter in a 6-quart, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and cook until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Add onions to the hot pot; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add carrots and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 more minute. Add mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Add green beans and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Pour wine into the pot and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken and any accumulated juices back to the pot. Pour in just enough chicken broth to barely cover everything in the pot. Sample broth and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Add rosemary sprigs, pressing them below the surface of the liquid. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Cover and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove rosemary sprigs. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Place cornstarch in a small bowl and add just enough cold water to create a thin slurry. Stir until all lumps are dissolved and slowly add to the stew, stirring constantly. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Place stew on the stove and heat over medium heat. Cook and stir until gravy has thickened and desired consistency has been achieved, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Brown them well on all sides before braising.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
