This One-Dish Tomato Chicken recipe combines succulent chicken thighs with a medley of vegetables, olives, and capers, all simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce. It's a hearty and nutritious dish that's perfect for any night of the week.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the 4 chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. Then, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped scallions and sliced red pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the 1 tablespoon of capers and the sliced olives, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of dried oregano over the vegetable mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and the 2 cups of pasta sauce. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
Return the browned chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken thighs with the tomato, olive, and pepper sauce on top. Enjoy your One-Dish Tomato Chicken!
Tips:
- For an extra depth of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in olive oil, oregano, and a bit of garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
- To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced chili to the sauce.
- For a lower-carb version, replace the pasta sauce with diced fresh tomatoes or a homemade tomato sauce with no added sugars.
Enjoy the comforting flavors of this One-Dish Tomato Chicken, a meal that's both easy to prepare and sure to please the whole family. The rich tomato sauce, combined with the tender chicken and flavorful vegetables, creates a dish that's satisfying and delicious. Pair it with some crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
