Ingredients:
4 chicken thighs
4 chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of dry red wine
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dry red wine, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, and cover the skillet with a lid.
- Allow the chicken to simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy!
