Braised Chicken w/ Peppers

This is an easy dinner to prepare. It is moist (thigh meat) with lots of Italian flavor. It’s also a go-to meal for large group gatherings, especially when entertaining takes you away from the kitchen. [For larger quantities, brown chicken in batches and increase vegetable & liquid ingredients by 30% and herb ingredients by 15%]

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

* Step 2

Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.

* Step 3

In a large ovenproof pan (or Dutch oven) on the stove top, heat the olive oil and then brown the chicken thighs lightly on both sides on medium heat.

* Step 4

Remove the chicken to a plate and then add the peppers to the pan and sauté for 4 minutes. Add the onions to the peppers and cook until they are softened. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes.

* Step 5

With a spoon, add the tomato paste to the pan and mix well with the onions and peppers.

* Step 6

Heat for 1 minute and then add the wine. Increase the heat slightly and cook until the wine has been reduced a bit. Stir occasionally.

* Step 7

Add the tomatoes, broth, basil, thyme, chili flakes, and bay leaf to the wine sauce. Mix well. Add the chicken back into the pan and cover.

* Step 8

Place the pan into the heated oven and bake for 40minutes. Remove the lid, add the parsley, and bake for an additional 20 minutes at 300˚ uncovered to thicken the sauce.
