Description
A delicious and hearty dish featuring chicken thighs cooked with colorful bell peppers and aromatic spices, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Chicken Thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1 red Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Fresh Basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes until browned. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the veggies. Add crushed red pepper flakes if you desire some heat.
- Lower the heat, cover, and allow the dish to simmer for about 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F).
- Remove from heat, sprinkle fresh basil on top, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in Italian seasoning for a few hours before cooking.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms for more variety.
- This dish pairs well with rice or crusty bread.
