    List of Ingredients




    Serves four:

    3 lbs. of cut up, bone-in chicken
    1/2 lb. Italian sausage links (sweet or hot)
    cut in 1/2" circles
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1/3 cup olive oil
    1/3 cup chicken broth
    1/4 cup onion diced fine
    1/4 cup celery diced fine
    2 cloves of garlic, mashed
    15 cured black olives
    2 large sprigs fresh rosemary
    1 cup dry red wine

    Recipe



    Step One: Brown the chicken and sausage
    If the chicken is soaked, drain and pat dry on paper towels. Put the olive oil in a large skillet and heat over high heat. Brown the chicken well, salt and pepper to taste and remove the chicken when browned and put aside. Repeat the process, browning the cut up sausage pieces. Remove the sausage.

    Step Two: Deglaze pan and precook chicken and sausage

    Add the onions, celery, garlic, rosemary and olives and return to the heat for 1 minute.

    Turn heat to high and add chicken broth to deglaze the pan.

    Add the browned chicken and sausage and cook uncovered until the liquid in the pan is reduced by half.

    Step Three: Braise the chicken and sausage and create the sauce

    Add the red wine, cover pan with tight fitting lid and reduce the temperature to low. Braise for 45 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

    Step Four: Finish the sauce

    Remove chicken, sausage and olives from pan and place on a warm platter. Return pan to high heat and reduce sauce by 1/2. Remove rosemary sprigs. Serve chicken, sausage and olives with a generous portion of the pan sauce.
