Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Step 4
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Return the chicken thighs and sausage to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors are melded together.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle with cayenne pepper for added heat. Adjust seasonings with additional salt and black pepper, as needed.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
