Fergie's Braised Chicken & Peppers




My husband and I don't always polish an entire bottle of wine in one sitting... 
(Strange huh??? ) So I like to cook with whatever we are not going to use.  This chicken dish 
is tender, juicy, and very flavorful! I hope you enjoy it as much as we all did! 

8 Chicken Thighs
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 
Salt & Pepper to Taste 
1 White Onion, Sliced 
1 Red Bell Pepper, Sliced 
4-6 Garlic Cloves, Rough Chopped 
2 Cups Chicken Stock 
1 Cup White Wine (Sweet or Dry will work) 
Fresh Cilantro 



Slice the peppers & onions... 


Using a heavy bottom pot heat the oil and brown 4 pieces of chicken at the time... 


Remove the chicken pieces until they are all browned on both sides... 
They do not have to be fully cooked... 


This is what you pan should look like... Remove excess grease... 



Add the peppers, onions and garlic... 


Gently cook for about 2 minutes... 



Add the broth... 



Add the wine... 


Deglaze the pan for about 4-5 minutes.... 





Add the chicken pieces... Simmer for 20 minutes, covered... 


Serve over some steamed jasmine rice and garnish with fresh Cilantro
