Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Sear the Chicken Thighs

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the chopped bell pepper and sliced carrots, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  2. 4

    Add the Chicken Back

    Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it braise for about 30 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your hot braised chicken!
