Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs Skin-on preferred for better flavor.
  • 2 pieces spicy Italian sausages Trader Joe’s spicy Italian recommended.
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar For tanginess.
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Olive oil For cooking.
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the sausage to the pan and cook until browned.
  4. Add the sliced peppers and minced garlic, stirring until the peppers are tender.
  5. Pour in the white wine vinegar and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, remove chicken after simmering and reduce the liquid for a few minutes before serving. Pairs well with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
