No reviews

A vibrant and spicy chicken dish with a rich tomato-based sauce infused with garlic and herbs, perfect for gatherings and cozy dinners.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs (or boneless chicken breasts)
  • 1 can San Marzano tomatoes
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup white wine (or broth)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken, skin-side down if using thighs, and brown for 5-6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer for a few minutes.
  5. Stir in the tomatoes and red pepper flakes, return to simmer, and tuck the chicken back into the sauce.
  6. Cover and reduce heat to low, simmer for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  7. Garnish with basil and parsley before serving.

Notes

For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes. Serve with pasta, bread, or a fresh salad.
