How to Make Osso Buco Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Rinse 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs) and pat them completely dry.
  5. Dredge chicken thighs in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are fully coated; shake off any excess flour.
  6. Add chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  7. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  8. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 medium carrot (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced).
  9. Cook for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
  10. Pour in ½ cup dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
  11. Stir in ½ teaspoon salt, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.
  12. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  13. Transfer half of the vegetable mixture to a covered 9x13 inch baking dish.
  14. Arrange the browned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining vegetable mixture.
  15. Cover the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  16. While the chicken is baking, prepare the gremolata: Combine 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 clove garlic (minced).
  17. Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle the gremolata generously over the top.
  18. Serve hot and enjoy!
