Instructions

Step 1

Dredge the chicken thighs with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and set aside

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy cast iron skillet. Sear chicken on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté the onion until transparent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the peppers, carrot, mushrooms and herbs; cook for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Pour in the wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until wine is reduced, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chill flakes. Season with salt and pepper to your tastes.

Step 6

Return chicken pieces to the skillet, cover with lid, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer (while stirring occasionally) for 40 minutes.

Step 7

Add in the olives (if using) and allow to simmer for a further 10 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
