Ingredients  

  • 8 chicken thighs, about 2lbs, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 red peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 cups Mezzetta Napa Valley Homemade Marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh basil leaves to taste

Instructions 

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and dredge them into the flour to coat.
  • In a large saute pan, or cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and, once hot, cook the chicken thighs until browned (about 3 minutes per side). Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve.
  • Add more olive oil to the pan, if necessary, and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent (about 2 minutes). Add the peppers and continue sautéing until tender (about 2 more minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the white wine and cook, scrapping all the browned bits from the bottom, until almost all gone.
  • Add the marinara sauce, chicken broth, oregano and stir to combine.
  • Add back the chicken and once the sauce is boiling again, bring it to a simmer (medium-low heat), cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and spoon the sauce over it, then sprinkle the chopped basil and serve.
