Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, drained, sliced in strips
1 cup Mezzetta® Pitted Castelvetrano Italian Olives, drained and halved
1 cup yellow squash, or zucchini, or potatoes, sliced in ¼-inch (6 mm) thick half moons
1 can tomato, diced
½ cup dry white wine, (or chicken stock)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaf, chopped
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the olive oil and tilt to coat the pan. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook without disturbing for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes, until lightly browned on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
  • Add the Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Mezzetta® Pitted Castelvetrano Italian Olives, and yellow squash, then cook for 1 minute, stirring to combine.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes and white wine, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes start to break down and the mixture begins to reduce slightly.
  • Fold in the butter, then add the chopped thyme and red pepper flakes, if using, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Nestle the chicken thighs into the sauce, skin-side up, leaving some of the skin exposed.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily pulls away from the bone. Cover the pan loosely with foil if the skin starts to get too dark.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with the parsley and serve.
  • Enjoy!

I'm not a fan of roasted red peppers, so I substituted them with sun-dried tomatoes. The results were still delicious!

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients involved.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to the chicken.
