Description
A comforting and flavorful dish featuring juicy chicken simmered with garlic, herbs, and vinegar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup of bell peppers (preferably a mix of red and green)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of chicken broth
- 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar (or sparkling grape juice)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want that extra zing.
- Allow the chicken to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Add olive oil to a large pot over medium heat.
- Place the chicken skin-side down and let it sear for about 5-7 minutes until it’s golden brown.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove it from the pot and set aside.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the pot, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the red wine vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
- Return the chicken to the pot, along with chicken broth, oregano, and thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and cover.
- Let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the lid and let it bubble for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed before serving hot, garnished with parsley.
Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight with spices to enhance flavor. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
