Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces italian sausage (sweet or hot), sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken skin-side down until deeply golden and crispy, about 6–8 minutes; flip and cook for 3–4 minutes more. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sausage and cook until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
- Add bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until softened and lightly caramelized, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in white wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly. Add chicken broth, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes, stirring to combine.
- Return chicken and sausage to the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For a spicier dish, add more crushed red pepper flakes according to your preference.
Serve over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
