- 8 cherry tomatoes* see the notes
- 5 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 prig rosemary
- ¼ c dry white wine

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Heat 3 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium 10-12 inch cast iron skillet and over medium heat.
- Season chicken with ¾ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and add it to a skillet.
- Sear chicken on all sides until nice and brown, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoon of oil, add onion, carrot, bell pepper, celery, garlic and rosemary and sauté stirring occasionally for 7 minutes.
- Add wine and stir for another 5 minutes scrapping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add chicken broth, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, tomatoes, return chicken to a skillet and braise in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the instant meat thermometer reads 175 F.
- Carefully remove skillet from the oven, adjust the seasoning if necessary, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken
- You can also use chicken thighs or chicken breast. If you use the latter, I recommend cutting it into bite size pieces, brown on each side and then braise with vegetables for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
- Tomatoes
- Instead of Cherry Tomatoes, you can also use Grape Tomatoes or regular size tomatoes. If you choose regular tomatoes, use 2 and chop them into smaller pieces.
