Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers mixed colors
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups canned crushed tomatoes
  • 0.5 cup dry white wine optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté onions, garlic, and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over the pieces.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread or over pasta.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
