    • 1 stalk celery with leaves, finely chopped
    • 🥕 1 medium carrot, finely chopped

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

3

Reduce heat to medium and add bell pepper, onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

4

Add tomato paste and stir to blend into the vegetables.

5

Add crushed tomatoes, wine, allspice, bay leaf, seasoning sauce, salt, and pepper. Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat all pieces.

6

Cover the Dutch oven and place in the preheated oven. Braise until chicken is falling off the bone and the juices run clear, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
