Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes into the skillet. Stir to combine, then return the chicken thighs to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
