Chicken thighs in seafood sauce

Chicken thighs in marinara style is a traditional recipe that stands out for its rich combination of Mediterranean flavors and its cooking method that emphasizes the tenderness and juiciness of the chicken. This preparation has its roots in Spanish cuisine, especially in coastal regions where the sea and good wine inspire dishes full of aroma and flavor. In several Latin American countries, the recipe can be found under similar names such as "pollo a la marinera" or simply "stewed chicken with wine." Each region adapts the ingredients according to its local products, but always maintaining the essence of a rich tomato and spice sauce that accompanies the chicken. It is a dish that combines history, tradition, and simple techniques to achieve a delicious result.

In countries like Mexico and Chile, chicken in marinara style is highly appreciated and is often served on special occasions or as a comforting meal in daily life. In Argentina and Uruguay, it can be accompanied by different side dishes, adjusting the recipe to regional tastes. The use of white wine and aromatic herbs gives it that characteristic touch that sets it apart from other more common chicken stews in the region.
