Tomatoes

1 cup

Garlic

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

4. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.
5. Add the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything to combine.
6. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
7. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
8. Serve the Empordanesa Chicken hot, accompanied by crusty bread or fluffy rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
