Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they are nice and brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine the ingredients.
Add the red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the red sauce.
Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken in red sauce.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Chicken in Red Sauce.
