Ingredients
3 chicken thighs (boneless or bone-in) (can use boneless skinless chicken breast if preferred)
½ red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch thick strips
½ yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 inch thick strips
½ large white onion, cut into 1 inch thick slices
1 cups of sliced white mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 tbsp of salt
1 tbsp of black pepper
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp parsley
¼ cup of olive oil
½ quart of marinara sauce
½ cup of chicken broth (or chicken stock)
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°
- Season chicken generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, and other Italian herbs if you prefer
- Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil (for maximum flavor) and drizzle with olive oil, and place chicken on the baking pan along with the pepper mixture in a single layer
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°, shaking halfway through so nothing sticks to the bottom of the foil
- In a medium sized saucepan or large skillet, drizzle olive oil over medium-high heat and begin to saute onions until golden. Season with salt and pepper
- Once onions have softened and turned golden, add mushrooms to the pan, and stir until softened
- Add the tomato sauce and chicken stock, and let simmer until the chicken is cooked, stirring frequently
- Serve all together over rice, cauliflower rice, linguine, or potatoes, topping with basil at the end for extra flavor
