Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken thighs lightly in the flour, shaking off excess.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs, skin side down, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Brown the sausage links on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Add the sliced cherry peppers, white wine, chicken broth, red wine vinegar, and chopped rosemary. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the chicken thighs and sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread, roasted potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
