One-Pan Mixed Pepper Chicken

If you are a capsicum pepper lover, you will enjoy this Eggs and Capsicum Peppers in Tomato Sauce, Creamy Yellow Pepper Pasta, Roasted Red Pepper Pappardelle Pasta , and Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers With Lentils.

Chicken Ingredients

Chicken drumsticks and thighs. I added chicken drumsticks and thighs to this pan. However, you can use any chicken pieces of your choice. If you do use different chicken pieces, then you may have to cook the dish for a longer or shorter amount of time.
Seasoning (salt to taste, paprika, garlic seasoning, onion seasoning and oregano). I used these ingredients to add flavour to the chicken pieces and sauce. You can alter the amount of each ingredient to suit your taste.
Tomato puree. This ingredient creates a delicious, thick, tomatoey, sauce for the chicken.
Onions. Add flavour to the dish.
Capsicum peppers (bell peppers). Add a burst of fresh, sweet, fruity flavour to the meal.
Oil

How to Make the One-Pan Mixed Pepper Chicken

Grab a medium-sized bowl and add the chicken pieces. Season the chicken pieces with, salt to taste, ¼ teaspoon of onion powder, ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, paprika to taste, and a splash of vegetable or sunflower oil. Rub the ingredients into the chicken and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, chop 3 mixed bell peppers, ½ an onion, and ½ a tomato. Set aside for later.
Once the chicken has finished marinating heat a splash of oil in the pan. Then, add the chicken pieces and cook on each side for 7-10 minutes or until brown.
Remove the chicken pieces from the pan and drain out excess oil if necessary. Make sure you leave the chicken juices in the pan because it will add more flavour to the dish!
Add onions to the pan and cook for a few minutes. Then, add 3-4 tablespoon of tomato puree, stir and cook for 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup of water or chicken stock. Season the mixture with salt to taste, pepper to taste, oregano and bring to a boil.
Then, add the chicken pieces, mixed peppers, and tomatoes to the pan. Cook on a low/ medium heat for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is done and serve.
