Life doesn't have to be that complicated. And that goes for this one too chicken thigh stewed in Italian herbs. A super easy recipe but with so much flavor, and I really enjoy it. You often need a lot of time to make a stew, with this recipe you can stew the meat in a maximum of an hour. Because chicken thighs are a bit fattier than fillets, the meat does not dry out and the end result is wonderfully soft meat and your kitchen smells like you are sitting at the table of an Italian Nonna. An ideal dish to serve with a tasty pasta. Stewed chicken chicken thighs oven
Chicken thigh stewed in Italian herbs
The herbs we use for the chicken thigh stewed are “Italian herbs,” but secretly they are not entirely. Because these herbs grow in many more places than just Italy. Most herb mixes that are sold with the dried herbs are a mix of basil, oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme. But parsley is also often used. You can often recognize by the smell whether you have an Italian mix or, for example, a Provencal mix.
In addition, these herbs, depending on their origin and freshness, can give different nuances of flavor to your dishes. They not only bring aroma, but also a certain depth of flavor that can transport you to sunny Italian gardens. Using different herbs can even transform the overall experience of a dish.
What you may not know about basil is that it originally comes from India. It is a spice that has been used in Indian cooking for a long time. But over time we have lost that a bit and we usually think that basil is typical of Italian cuisine. It is also the main ingredient in a delicious pesto, which you can easily make yourself. I have a recipe for you here showing you how to do it!
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.
And this is how you make it:
- Start the night before. Cut the chicken thighs into cubes and season with salt, pepper and a lot of Italian herbs, a little olive oil and then leave to marinate in the fridge until use. (Remove the meat from the refrigerator before cooking to allow it to come up to temperature.)
- Clean the onions and then cut them into quarters. Wash the tomatoes, but leave them whole.
- Take your stewpan and add a dash of olive oil, then fry the chicken thigh cubes until they turn light brown. Add the chopped garlic cloves and onions and fry them for about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and olives and pour in the passata. Lower the heat and let it simmer. The tomatoes will slowly pop open and release their moisture into the sauce. Let it simmer for an hour.
- Cook a pasta of your choice, serve with some fresh basil leaves.
