4 carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced
4 celery, sliced
8 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup coconut palm sugar
1 cup dry red wine

Instructions
1. Wash the chicken and pat dry. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and brown each side, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and drain the skillet.
