“Today’s dinner was a rustic, hearty dish that brought incredible flavors to the table. I started with a whole chicken, cut into pieces and seasoned to perfection, then browned alongside sausage for extra richness. After sautéing onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, I deglazed the pan with wine, added tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and brought everything together with chicken stock for a slow simmer. The result? A comforting, sauce-filled masterpiece that’s perfect over pasta, polenta, or just enjoyed with crusty bread.
