Baked Chicken Thighs in Red Wine with Vegetables

By: 14 Comments

I enjoy coming up with different one-pot dishes. I love the idea of placing all of the ingredients together and letting the oven do the rest of the work. This dish in particular was inspired by my chicken baked in beer and white wine roast chicken. I baked chicken thighs in red wine and added a lot of vegetables for a complete meal.

For the vegetables I used what I had on hand, whole cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, but you can really use any vegetables you want. Carrots and potatoes would also work great in this recipe.  Don’t forget to pair this dish with the leftover red wine used to cook the chicken in!

Place the chicken and vegetables in pan and pour in wine.

Baste the chicken with wine every 15-20 minutes. This is what it should look like halfway.

Chicken Thighs Baked in Red Wine Recipe

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1/2 cup cremini mushrooms, halved
  • 1 small onion or shallot, quartered
  • 6-8 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

    Preheat oven to 400°F.

    Place chicken thighs in a large baking pan. Put in tomatoes, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, garlic, onions, bay leaves and red wine. Top chicken and vegetables with dried thyme and salt & pepper then drizzle with olive oil. Depending on the size of your chicken thighs, bake for an hour to an hour and a half, until golden brown. Baste the chicken with the wine every 15-20 minutes and stir the ingredients around a bit. If your chicken is cooked and the wine is not yet cooked down, place chicken on a warm plate then cook the wine and vegetables more in the oven. The wine and vegetables will create a delicious sauce and side dish.

      I made this for dinner tonight, and it was delicious! I did chicken legs and broccoli instead of thighs and brussel sprouts since that’s what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing!
