Ingredients:
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
– 1 cup chicken broth
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chicken thighs and cook until they are golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
4. Add the chopped red bell pepper and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the dried thyme and paprika over the vegetables, stirring to combine and release their flavors.
6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients.
7. Add the chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
8. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the dish cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
10. Serve the favorite dinner hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. This dish pairs perfectly with fluffy rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
