Chicken Gabriella

Chicken Gabriella is a fragrant and light Mediterranean-style dish that relies on the punchy flavours of fresh rosemary, sage, and lemon. This diabetes-friendly main course focuses on lean protein and heart-healthy extra-virgin olive oil, creating a rich sauce without the need for heavy creams or sugars. The slow-cooked onions caramelise beautifully alongside the chicken, providing a natural sweetness that balances the acidity of the dry white wine and citrus.

Perfect for a wholesome midweek dinner, this recipe is as simple as it is sophisticated. By using bone-in chicken pieces, the meat remains succulent and tender during the simmering process, while the herbs infuse every bite with an aromatic earthy quality. Serve this dish alongside steamed seasonal greens or a crisp side salad for a balanced, low-carbohydrate meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Chicken Gabriella

  • 1 (3 1/2-to 4-pound) chicken, skinned and cut into small (about 3-inch) pieces, with bone, thighs, and wings left whole (ask your butcher to do this for you or use kitchen shears)

  • 2 onions, chopped

  • Needles from 4 sprigs fresh rosemary (about 1/4 cup), finely chopped

  • 5 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped

  • About 325ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 240ml dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio

  • 1 lemon

How to make Chicken Gabriella

Put the chicken pieces in a 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick) with a lid, along with the chopped onions, rosemary, and sage. Stir well to coat the chicken with the onion and herbs. Add enough olive oil to coat all of the chicken pieces, but not so much that it pools in the skillet. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.

Set the skillet over medium heat. Cook until the onions are very soft and the chicken and onions have turned golden brown, about 20 minutes. If the onion begins to brown too fast, turn down the heat. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer gently until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Squeeze the lemon over, taste for salt and pepper, and serve.
