* Notes: Our family makes this dish with boneless skinless chicken thighs, which provide more flavor than breast meat. I’ve also made it with bone-in skin-on thighs, which I simmer for roughly 30 minutes longer until they get very tender. When I do this, I usually end up adding a bit of chicken broth or water to the sauce to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Using bone in, skin on meat makes the chicken very tender and flavorful, but it does increase the fat content of the dish. Use whatever works best for your diet. note: Notes: Our family makes this dish with boneless skinless chicken thighs, which provide more flavor than breast meat.

If you want to cook this without alcohol, you can substitute low sodium chicken broth for the red wine. The sugar is optional, and is there to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Also, you can easily make the dish gluten free by using a gluten free flour substitute instead of flour for the chicken coating (I like cassava flour as a substitute). If you’re making it gluten free, I recommend pouring it over brown rice or another gluten free starch.
