Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Brown the Chicken

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4

Simmer

Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, and the browned chicken back to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

5

Serve

Remove the bay leaf and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
