Description
A delicious and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken thighs cooked in a savory sauce with vegetables and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier sauce, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Serve over rice, quinoa, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
