Ingredients

• 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and sear on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add chopped onions, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add sliced bell peppers and garlic to the skillet, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.

Step 6

Stir in dried oregano, dried basil, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, along with the sliced mushrooms. Ensure they are submerged in the sauce.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

Step 9

Add drained capers and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 10

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
