Where to find ingredients
Chicken thighs, garlic, onions, tomatoes, and vegetable oil are widely available in the meat, produce, and pantry sections of most supermarkets. Vinegar, bay leaves, salt, oregano, and red pepper flakes can be found in the spice and condiment aisles. Chicken broth is typically found in the soup or broth section. Fresh herbs like parsley and chives are usually located in the produce section, often near other fresh herbs and vegetables. If you can't find fresh herbs, dried versions can be substituted from the spice aisle, though fresh herbs offer a brighter flavor.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with mashed garlic, vinegar, bay leaves, and salt
- Let marinate for at least 1 hour
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat
- Brown the marinated chicken thighs on all sides
- Add the sliced onions and tomatoes to the pan, gently mixing with the chicken
- Sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes (if using) over the ingredients in the pan
- Pour the chicken broth into the pan
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes after it starts boiling, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened
- Finish with chopped fresh herbs and serve hot
