Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 4 links Italian sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 6 cherry peppers in vinegar, sliced
• 0.5 cups white wine
• 1 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge the chicken thighs lightly in the flour, shaking off excess.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Brown the sausage links on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside with the chicken.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Step 7

Add the sliced cherry peppers, white wine, chicken broth, red wine vinegar, and chopped rosemary. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs and sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread, roasted potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
