Ingredients

Mediterranean Braised Chicken

1 red onion, sliced
1 fennel bulb, sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into 2-inch pieces
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 2-inch pieces
¼ cup pitted olives
2 tablespoons capers, drained
½ cup roasted tomatoes, drained
½ cup white wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Low-sodium chicken stock
Crusty bread, toasted, for serving
4 tablespoons goat cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Toss the onion, fennel and garlic with 1 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper in a lidded baking dish (with the lid off) and roast for 15 minutes, until brown.
