In a saucepan with a thick bottom, heat the oil and fry the chicken on all sides until golden brown. We transfer the chicken to a plate.

We spread the chopped vegetables in the pan - onions, carrots and celery. Add a pinch of salt, simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Put the squeezed garlic in a saucepan, fry everything together for 1 minute. Add tomato paste, simmer for 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and stir everything again for 2 minutes.
