Ellen's Hunter-Style Chicken
  1. 1

    Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, cook and stir the onion and mushrooms until the mushrooms are softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 more minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the tomatoes with their juice, white wine, orange juice, rosemary, salt, and black pepper; stir until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, 30 to 40 minutes.
