Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms, and sauté for another 5 minutes until softened.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Chicken

    Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until browned.

  2. 4

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and red wine (if using). Stir in the dried oregano and basil.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over it and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
