INSTRUCTIONS
Season 22 oz chicken thighs with 1/8 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper, and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put in the 24 oz tomatoes and cook them for 1 minute. Then transfer them into ice water so that they can cool quickly. Use a sharp knife to remove the tomato skins. Blend until smooth.
In a cast-iron pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs on each side for 10 minutes in total. Set aside.
In the same pan saute 10 oz crimini mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Add 2 oz onion to the pan along with 2 tsp garlic, 4 oz bell pepper, and 1 tbsp butter. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat or until vegetables have softened.
Once the vegetables are cooked, add 1/4 fl oz red wine and cook down for 1 minute. Then add in the tomatoes, 1 oz parmesan, the remaining 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Return the chicken to the pan. Add 1/2 Italian seasoning, 2 cups chicken broth, mushroom, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, and 2 tbsp parsley. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes.
Turn the heat off. Sprinkle in the remaining 1 oz parmesan and 1 tbsp basil. Serve over spaghetti.
