Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

In the same pan, add the diced onion and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and white wine (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Add the capers (if using), dried oregano, and dried basil to the sauce. Mix thoroughly.

Step 9

Return the chicken thighs to the pan, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 10

Cover the pan and let everything simmer over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot, preferably with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
