Ingredients
- 1.5 pound chicken thigh (boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion (large, thinly sliced)
- 2 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potato (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Season chicken thigh pieces with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add thinly sliced yellow onion and sliced red bell pepper and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Add cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, chicken broth, undrained diced tomatoes, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
- Serve hot, ensuring everyone gets a good portion of chicken, vegetables, and potatoes.
Notes
If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute with an equal amount of chicken broth.
