Ingredients

• 6 pieces Boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Bell pepper
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 14-ounce can Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding. Cook until browned on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion, sliced bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and beginning to brown.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce, and bring to a simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot, and enjoy your Keto Chicken Cacciatore!
