Preparation

Step 1

Start off by preparing the sauce. Combine the tomato sauce with the basil, parsley, oregano, garlic, red and black pepper, sugar, cheese, green olives, and bell pepper. Set aside.

In a cast iron skillet, caramelize the onion. Remove the onion and set aside. Add the chicken thighs to the cast iron skillet. Sprinkle both sides with some salt, black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder and onion powder. Cover with the sauce.

Bake chicken at 350 covered with the lid of the cast iron skillet for about 30 minuts. Then back uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
