Ingredients
  • 8 Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs, trimmed of excess skin and fat
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1⁄ 2 cup All-Purpose Flour, for dredging
  •  
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  •  
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper, sliced and cut into roughly 1 to 2 inch pieces
  • 1 large Orange Bell Pepper, sliced and cut into roughly 1 to 2 inch pieces
  • 1 large Onion, chopped
  •  
  • 3 cloves Garlic, pressed
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  •  
  • 3⁄ 4 cup Dry White Wine
  •  
  • 28 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes, with juice
  • 3⁄ 4 cup Chicken Stock
  • 3 tablespoons Capers, drained
  • 1 1⁄ 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
  •  
  • 1⁄ 4 cup Fresh Basil, coarsley chopped
  •  
  • Cooked Pasta, optional
Steps
  1. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly.
  2. In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute it in 2 batches. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  3. Drain all but a few tablespoons of oil from the chicken pan. Add the bell peppers and onions to the pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and saute until just fragrant, about a minute. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the tomatoes with their juice, chicken stock, capers and oregano. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cover and continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 to 40 minutes.
  7. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce.
  8. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the basil and serve.
Notes
  • Also very good with chicken served on the side and sauce spooned over pasta.
