The Story Behind the Recipe

I first tried this dish at a lovely little taverna I enjoy visiting, and I was hooked. It was so delicious that I had to recreate it at home. By trying different ingredients and adjusting the quantities, I reached the result I wanted. In the end, I may even prefer it to the version I used to order out. The chicken thigh stays juicy, the sun-dried tomatoes add intensity, and the feta brings the wine and chicken juices together. Since filming the video, I have made it again about three times. If I want a little sweet contrast, I add a teaspoon of honey at the end, but it is optional. I used dried tomatoes that I rehydrated before adding them to the dish.

The Technique

  • Brown the chicken in batches and keep both the deglazing liquid and any juices on the plate.
  • Add feta, optional honey and oregano at the end.
Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken thigh fillets: 1 kg, cut into pieces

  • Sun-dried tomatoes: approximately 100-150 g, weighed after rehydrating and draining

  • Feta: approximately 200 g, crumbled

  • Onion: 1, grated

  • Garlic: 2-3 cloves, chopped

  • White wine: for deglazing and finishing

  • Olive oil: for sautéing

  • Honey: 1 tsp, optional

  • Oregano and black pepper: to taste

  • Additional salt: only if needed after adding feta

Steps

Method

  1. If using dried sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrate until softened and drain.

  2. Heat olive oil and brown the chicken in batches without crowding. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Deglaze the pan with wine, scrape the base and reserve the liquid.

  4. Add more olive oil and sauté the grated onion. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes.

  5. Add white wine, chicken, reserved deglazing liquid and every juice left on the plate. Season with pepper.

  6. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has reduced.

  7. Add feta, optional honey and oregano. Stir to combine and check whether any extra salt is needed.

Tips and Secrets

  1. Taste before adding extra salt, because the sun-dried tomatoes and feta are already quite salty.

  2. Return all the juices released by the chicken on the plate to the pan because they add extra flavour to the sauce.
