Ingredients
- 6 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
- 1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
- 1 large carrot peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms (225g)
- 1 can tomato paste (6-ounce)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 cup dry white wine (240mL)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (28-ounce)
- red pepper flakes optional
- chopped fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken all over with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Add olive oil to a large deep skillet and swirl to coat. Place chicken thighs in skillet, skin side down. Place over medium-high heat.
- Cook, without disturbing the chicken thighs, until golden brown and they easily release from the skillet, about 10 minutes. Flip and cook just until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
- To skillet, add onion, red and green peppers, carrot, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently until vegetables start to soften, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms begin shrinking, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour in the wine to deglaze the skillet. Stir in diced tomatoes, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and a pinch or two of red pepper flakes, if desired. Add more salt to taste, if needed.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Nestle chicken thighs back into skillet.
- Partially cover, and cook for 25 minutes or until the thickest part of chicken thighs registers 165F on a meat thermometer. Garnish with basil before serving.
Notes
- If you only have a 12 ounce can of tomato paste, you can freeze the extra for later! Tomato paste is freezer-friendly, so I store the extra in a freezer-safe container or bag for later to avoid having half-used opened cans forgotten in the back of the fridge.
- If you have a small skillet, cook the chicken thighs in two batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the skin of the chicken thighs can crisp up.
- Use a splatter screen if you have one, as the oil can splash as the skin-side of the chicken cooks.
- I highly recommend using fresh garlic, but you can use garlic powder if you’re all out. A clove of garlic is around ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Add some heat to this with the addition of more red pepper flakes.
