Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken pieces on a dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pat the chicken with your hands so the flavors stick to the meat. Heat up the olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Now add the chicken pieces, sear them on both sides and cook until you can no longer see the pink of the meat. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, and rosemary. Mix well so the meat gets all the flavor of the spices. Let cook for about 5 minutes. Then pour the wine over the meat and let it evaporate (about 5 more minutes).
Step 2
Add the tomatoes, stir and cover. Lower the heat to medium-low and let it cook covered for about 30 minutes. Serve warm. Garnish with basil leaves and black olives.
