Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin-on (or breasts, if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Brown the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, and sliced bell pepper. Sauté until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Braise the Chicken: Cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for 45-60 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve over rice or your choice of sides. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs enhance the flavors of Braised Catalina Chicken.
  • Make It Spicy: Add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the braising liquid for heat.
  • Add Other Vegetables: Incorporate zucchini or carrots for added texture and taste.
  • Mediterranean Twist: Replace diced tomatoes with artichoke hearts and add Kalamata olives for a Mediterranean flair.
  • Herbaceous Update: Use fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary instead of dried oregano for a more aromatic dish.
  • Honey Glazed: Substitute brown sugar with honey for a unique sweetness.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Freezing: Freeze the chicken and sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
