How to make Wine Braised Chicken (Drunken Chicken)
Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In the meantime, pat the pieces of chicken dry using paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet in batches and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until browned. On a side plate, transfer the chicken when done. Repeat until you have seared all the chicken pieces.
Step 2: If needed, add the rest of the olive oil to the now-empty pan. Add the sliced onion and smashed garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring.
Step 3: Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan.
Step 4: Pour in the broth and add the tomato paste once the wine has simmered for about 2 minutes. Stir well and return the chicken to the pan. Bring everything to a boil. Adjust the heat to medium once boiling and put the lid on. Let everything simmer for an hour, stirring often. Add a little water if the mixture begins to dry out.
Step 5: Remove from the heat when done and serve the chicken right away. Enjoy!
