🍗 Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 tsp olive oil (1 Point total – or use cooking spray for 0)
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, no salt added

  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

🍳 Instructions:

  1. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil or spray in a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until lightly browned (does not need to be fully cooked yet). Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In the same pan, add onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Cook for 5–6 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  3. Add liquids & season: Pour in diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and broth. Stir in oregano, basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Simmer chicken: Return the chicken to the pot. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Taste & garnish: Season with salt to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
