Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
4 chicken thighs
400g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tsp rosemary
5g
1 red pepper
80g
1 cup olives
230g
1 cup red wine
230g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Chop the onion and parsley, mince the garlic, and slice the red pepper. Halve the olives if needed.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Brown the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the pan, skin-side down. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Cook the Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion to the same pan. Sauté for about 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add Red Pepper and Olives: Stir in the sliced red pepper and olives. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the red wine, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing some of the alcohol to cook off.
7. Add Tomatoes: Add the canned tomatoes to the pan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
8. Return Chicken to the Pan: Place the browned chicken thighs back into the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
9. Finish with Parsley: Once the chicken is fully cooked, sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top.
10. Serve: Serve the chicken cacciatore hot, either on its own or over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Tips:

- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for more flavor; however, boneless, skinless thighs work well too if you prefer.

- Brown the chicken well at the start to lock in moisture and develop a deeper flavor.

- Feel free to add additional vegetables like mushrooms or carrots to enhance the dish's nutritional value and complexity.

- If you don't cook with wine, you can substitute with an equal amount of chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.

- Garnish the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
