I was browsing through JoCooks’ cookbook “30 Minute One-Pot Meals” when this chicken thigh osso buco recipe caught my attention. It has familiar ingredients and the instruction is so easy to follow. The dish is inspired from the Italian dish osso buco which originally uses veal as the main protein. This recipe uses bone-in chicken thigh which is my favorite part of the chicken. It is cheaper and juicier compare to other parts. The seasoned chicken thighs are browned first and then simmered in a flavorful white wine, herb and vegetable sauce. The chicken was able to absorb the sauce and came out very tasty and moist. My family and I enjoyed this delicious dish with rice. This chicken thigh osso buco is also good over noodles. It is definitely a keeper!

We really enjoyed this recipe! I had chicken thighs that needed to be cooked and this was delicious solution! I substituted the white wine with diluted apple cider vinegar, and used Italian seasoning since I didn’t have rosemary. I put this over penna since I didn’t have rice. Will make again.

This recipe was so delicious!! Changed up a few things. Added a can of diced tomatoes w/ juice & a little more tomato paste. Also use Italian Seasoning since I didn’t have rosemary. Came out so delicious!! Served with Parmesan polenta & fresh peas!! Definitely making again!!
