Chef Yoshimi Hidaka of Ristorante Acquapazza presents an easy-to-make, home-friendly version of an Italian rabbit dish, using chicken instead. This authentic Italian stew deeply flavors chicken, onions, and black olives, creating a harmonious balance of texture and olive aroma for a delicious and accessible meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (4 servings)

  • Chicken thighs 2 pieces (approx. 900g)
  • Chicken wing mid-joints 16 pieces
  • Chicken liver 80g
  • Chicken hearts 40g
  • Onion (thinly sliced) 1/2 medium
  • Potatoes (cut into chunks) 2
  • Black olives 20
  • Green olives (chopped) 20
  • Italian parsley (chopped) (to taste)

Seasonings

  • White wine 200ml
  • Sage leaves 4
  • Rosemary sprigs 2
  • Garlic 2 cloves
  • Bay leaves 2
  • Olive oil (to taste)
  • Broth (or water) 2 liters
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Cut chicken hearts in half and remove any blood. Cut chicken liver in half.
  2. Season all chicken pieces, including chicken thighs, chicken wing mid-joints, chicken liver, and chicken hearts, with salt and pepper. (Key Tip: If you're not fond of organ meats, feel free to use only the parts you have or prefer.)
  3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan and add 2 cloves of minced garlic.
  4. Once the garlic is fragrant, add 1/2 medium sliced onion and sauté until sweet.
  5. When the onion becomes tender, add finely chopped 2 sprigs of rosemary, 4 sage leaves, and 2 bay leaves. Sauté briefly.
  6. In a separate preheated pan, add olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down, and the chicken wing mid-joints skin-side down until lightly browned.
  7. Flip the chicken pieces once browned. In the empty space of the pan, add and lightly sear the internal organs like chicken liver and chicken hearts.
  8. Once all chicken pieces are browned, drain excess oil with a paper towel. Add 200ml of white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
  9. Transfer the seared chicken, internal organs, and the wine mixture to a pot.
  10. Add 2 chunked potatoes, 20 black olives, and 20 chopped green olives to the pot.
  11. Add a small amount of water to the frying pan used for searing the meat, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom, and add to the pot.
  12. Add 2 liters of broth (or water) to the pot and bring to a boil. (Key Tip: The chicken and olives are already salty, so add salt sparingly and adjust to taste.)
  13. Once boiling, cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and starting to break down. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface.
  14. Arrange the chicken thighs, chicken wing mid-joints, chicken liver, chicken hearts, and potatoes evenly in a serving dish.
  15. Garnish with chopped Italian parsley and serve. (Key Tip: For an even more authentic flavor, use olive paste or flavorful black olives with pits.)
