Instructions
- 1
Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5–6 minutes until deeply golden brown. Flip and sear 2 more minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same pot over medium heat, cook onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms until softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and thyme and cook 2 minutes.

Add wine and cook until reduced by half, scraping up all browned bits. Add crushed tomatoes, capers, and red pepper flakes. Return chicken to the pot, nestling pieces into the sauce skin-side up.

Bring to a simmer, cover partially, and cook over medium-low heat for 35–40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and fragrant. The skin won't be crispy, but the meat will be tender and deeply flavored. Serve with polenta or crusty bread and scatter fresh parsley over.
