Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup dry red wine
- 28 ounces crushed fire roasted tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pitted black olives or Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- Garnish: fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs into the hot pan, skin side down, and sear for 3 to 5 minutes, without disturbing. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onion, carrot, red pepper, and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 5 or until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, olives, capers, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use tongs to return the chicken thighs to the pan, making sure they are covered in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook on medium-low for 20 to 25 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the internal temperature of the chicken thighs is 165°F.
- Stir in the fresh basil. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze this dish for up to 3 months.
