Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 large Bell pepper
- 8 ounces Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 14-ounce can Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding. Cook until browned on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion, sliced bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and beginning to brown.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce, and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer gently for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your Keto Chicken Cacciatore!
