Ingredient List:
- 4 chicken thighs or breasts, cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
