Pollo in Potacchio

Ingredients

10 skinless chicken thighs (with bone)
kosher salt and fresh black pepper
3 - 4 small sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups Imported crushed tomatoes (Tuttoroso)
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/4 cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio)
2 cups low sodium, fat free chicken broth
kosher salt and fresh black pepper
1/2 package of orzo pasta

Directions
  1. Lightly season the chicken with salt and fresh pepper. Place a Dutch Oven or large heavy pot on medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, when hot add the chicken and sear until browned on all sides, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a dish and set aside. 
  2. Sauté garlic and onions (and red pepper flakes if using) in remaining oil; sauté until golden, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add celery and carrots and saute on medium-low for about 2-3 minutes, until soft. Add the wine and chicken broth, scraping any caramelized bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.   
  3. Add tomatoes, marjoram, reduce heat to low, adjust salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 30 minutes.  
  4. Add the chicken and rosemary to the sauce, partially cover and cook slowly on low heat for another 25 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding water if needed.  
  5. Add orzo pasta to the last 10 minutes.  This will make it less soup like but super yummy.
