Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp.

    cooking fat

  • 1 lb.

    bone-in skin-on chicken legs

  • 1/2 lb.

    chicken thighs

  • 1/2 tsp.

    kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp.

    Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2

    onion, minced

  • 1/2

    red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • 1 cup

    Mushrooms, sliced

  • 2

    cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 Tbsp.

    capers, drained

  • 1

    14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup

    chicken broth or water

  • 1 Tbsp.

    fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

Directions

    1. Step 1In a large skillet with high edges, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking fat over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in pan. Sear chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
    2. Step 2Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. With the same pan still on medium-high heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons cooking fat, onions, and peppers and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
    3. Step 3Add mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir until aromatic, about 1 minute, then add capers and diced tomatoes.
    4. Step 4Return chicken to pan and cover everything with chicken broth or water. Reduce heat to medium and bring everything to a simmer.
    5. Step 5Turn the heat down to low and continue to simmer (not boil) until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°, about 30 minutes.
