Chicken Ragu

Chicken Ragu
2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
1 1/2 lbs (750 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
6 oz (170 g) hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 onion, minced
2 stalks celery, minced
2 carrots, peeled and minced
1 bay leaf
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) dry Marsala
1/2 lb (225 g) fresh mushrooms, sliced
14 oz can (398 mL) crushed tomatoes
1 cup (250 mL) chicken stock
1 tbsp (15 mL) tomato paste
3 generous pinches cloves

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and Italian sausage. Stir-cook, breaking sausage into small pieces, until chicken is browned and sausage meat is no longer pink. Add onion, celery, carrot, garlic, and bay leaf and continue cooking until onion is softened. Stir in Marsala. Bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer until half of the liquid has evaporated (about 15 minutes). Mix in mushrooms, tomatoes, chicken stock, tomato paste, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Serve with salad and French bread.

Makes 6-8 servings.
