Directions
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add in the chicken.
Cook the chicken until it browns on the outside, about 4 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. Chicken will NOT be fully cooked.
In the same pan add in the onions, celery, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic.
Top with the oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and some additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Toss the vegetables and seasoning to combine and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Slowly pour in the red wine and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes or until wine is reduced by about half.
Add the fire roasted diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes.
Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, place chicken thighs back in the pan.
Stir contents well, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked to 165F.
Let the cacciatore cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil and parsley if desired. Enjoy!
