    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and basil. Stir well.

  5. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with pasta or crusty bread.
