Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced
- 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced bell peppers. Sauté until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Pour in white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
- Add chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine before returning the seared chicken.
- Simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving over rice or crusty bread.
