Traditionally, the recipe is made with bone-in chicken thighs browned in a Dutch oven and then slow-cooked in a rich white wine sauce. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping as it can last for a few days in the refrigerator or weeks in the freezer, making it an easy dish to put together when you do not have enough time to cook. You can also switch up the vegetables to include your favorites when following the recipe.

Instructions
