Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers and mince the garlic cloves. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet and reduce the heat to medium.
Step 4
Sauté the bell peppers for 5-6 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 5
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet along with the dried oregano. Stir everything together and let it cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to release their juices.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 7
Chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the dish just before serving.
Step 8
Serve the chicken with sweet peppers and tomato over rice, pasta, or alongside crusty bread for a complete meal.
