Recipe Summary Greek Stew

I'm not sure how 'Greek' this is. However, my father made this, his parents came from Cephalonia, and he called it 'Greek stew.' As with many such recipes, the leftovers are even better a day or two later.

Ingredients | Greek Cheese

1 cooking spray (such as Pam®)

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice

4 cloves garlic, or more to taste, minced

8 chicken thighs, or more to taste, trimmed

2 cups dry white wine

2 (6.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 lemon, juiced

1 drop hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)

1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

Prepare a Dutch oven or large pot with cooking spray. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until onion soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove onion mixture to a bowl.

Heat remaining olive oil in the pot again over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil, turning a few times, until browned, about 5 minutes.

Pour wine over the chicken; bring to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

Stir onion mixture, tomato sauce, black pepper, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and cinnamon with the simmering chicken; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the chicken is easily pulled apart, about 1 hour.

Serve with a Greek salad and bread for sopping. As kids, the sopped bread was the main course for us, and the chicken was a side.

Substitute any cooked rice for bread and put stew over the rice.
