Easy Boneless Chicken Thighs and Peppers

Описание: This Italian chicken and peppers (pollo coi peperoni) recipe is super flavorful and really easy to make. Traditionally the dish is made with a whole chicken cut into pieces, but substituting boneless skinless chicken thighs works really well! The chicken and peppers braise in a touch of wine and plum tomatoes, creating the ultimate tender chicken thigh dish. Make sure to serve with a loaf of bread to soak up the all delicious sauce. I hope you enjoy this latest Italian chicken recipe!

INGREDIENTS
4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
3-4 large bell peppers - used red and green - sliced
8 ounces (about 1/3 of a standard can of plum tomatoes) hand crushed plum tomatoes
3-4 cloves of garlic - sliced
Salt and pepper - to taste
1/3 cup dry White wine
1/4 cup olive oil - for frying
1/4 cup Fresh basil - optional

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear until brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side) in a large ovenproof pan over medium heat in a few tablespoons of olive oil.
2. Set cooked chicken aside and season a bit more with more kosher salt. Add the garlic to the pan. Cook for a minute until fragrant then add in all the peppers and stir to coat. If needed add a bit more olive oil to the pan.
3. Next add the white wine to the pan and cook for 3 minutes over medium-high heat until completely evaporated.
4. Next, add the tomatoes to the pan and stir together. Bring to a simmer then add in all the chicken. Mix well to coat the chicken with the tomatoes.
5. Lightly cover the pan (leave it cracked open) and place in a 325f oven to cook. After 30 minutes check on the chicken and if there is too much liquid remove the cover and continue to cook for another 30 minutes until the chicken absorbs most of the tomatoes and the peppers are very soft.
6. To crisp up the chicken a bit broil for the last 5 minutes.
7. Remove the chicken from the oven and if there is still too much liquid cook over medium-high heat to reduce a bit more. Taste test the chicken and sauce and make any final adjustments to seasoning if required. Finish with fresh basil and serve with crusty Italian bread to mop up all the sauce and peppers. Enjoy!
