Ingredients
- 200 g Chicken thighs, skin-on, raw
- 60 g Onions, raw
- 60 g Bell pepper, red, raw
- 60 g Mushrooms, cremini, raw
- 120 g Tomatoes, canned, diced

Method
- Season the chicken thigh pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them well in the olive oil over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes a side; set aside.
- Add the onion and pepper to the same pan and cook 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and mushrooms and cook a further 3 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine and let it bubble for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw alcohol smell.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, thyme and bay leaf, then return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer over low heat for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through with no pink remaining and juices run clear (internal temperature at least 74 °C/165 °F).
- Uncover for the last 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
