Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing the chicken thighs under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the bell peppers into strips. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Add the Vegetables

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Bell Peppers

    Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes, until the peppers are tender but still crisp.

  4. 6

    Final Seasoning

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the pepper chicken to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
