Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large Dutch oven or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the red and yellow bell peppers, and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes, until they start to release their moisture.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, and white wine. Stir well to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them into the sauce.
Add the chicken broth, oregano, basil, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your soy-free Chicken Cacciatore!
