Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and brown them on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, sliced bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
Stir in the gluten-free chicken broth, diced tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and fresh thyme leaves.
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the chicken to simmer for about 40 minutes until it's cooked through and tender.
Remove the lid, taste the sauce, and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Finish by stirring in fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve the Chicken Cacciatore warm, optionally with a side of gluten-free pasta or rice.
