Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, diced onion
- 2 medium, sliced bell peppers
- 4 cloves, minced garlic
- 8 ounces, sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and brown them for about 4-5 minutes each side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, sliced bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture.
Step 5
Add in the dried oregano, dried basil, and stir to combine, allowing the herbs to become fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the vegetables and herbs.
Step 7
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, ensuring they are nestled within the sauce.
Step 8
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 9
Uncover the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken as desired.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Chicken Cacciatore with cauliflower rice or a simple green salad.
