Number Of Ingredients 18

6 skinless chicken thighs (bone-in)
Salt and pepper ( to season)
2 tablespoons olive oil ((more if needed ))
1 medium onion (diced)
2 tablespoons minced garlic ((or 8 cloves))
1 small yellow bell pepper ((capsicum), diced)
1 small red bell pepper ((capsicum), diced medium)
1 large carrot (peeled and sliced)
10 oz (300g) mushrooms (sliced)
1/2 cup pitted black olives
8 sprigs thyme
2 tablespoons each freshly chopped parsley and basil (plus more to garnish)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
150 ml red wine
28 oz (820g) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
7 oz (200g) Roma tomatoes (halved)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a heavy cast iron skillet. Fry the onion until transparent (about 3-4 minutes) then add in the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • Add the peppers, carrot, mushrooms and herbs; sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables are beginning to soften.
  • Add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden (occasionally mix the vegetables around the chicken in the pan so they don't stick).
  • Pour in the wine; allow to simmer and reduce down (about 5-6 minutes).
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Roma tomatoes and chill flakes. Season with salt and pepper to your tastes. Continue to cook over stove top OR in the oven following the instructions below.
