Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a pan with a chopped onion on medium high heat
- When the onion becomes golden/brown, throw in the peppers a la julienne (which you have previously dried with a paper towel)
- Sauté the peppers and after 5 min add half the amount of tomatoes (if using from the can, only the tomatoes, not the liquid!)
- Add a generous amount of salt and let it cook until the juices are reduced
- Remove from pan and set aside
- In the same pan, warm olive oil over medium-high heat
- Put the chicken in the pan (before, dry chicken with a paper towel)
- Don't flip it yet. When the chicken legs release from the pan, you can flip them
- When also the other side is brown, add white wine and let evaporate
- Add the remaining half of the tomatoes and reduce the heat (it has to simmer)
- Add salt, cover, and let it cook until the tomatoes have reduced (20-40 min)
- Remove lid, crank up the heat and add the previously cooked peppers and tomatoes
- Let it cook for 10 min while stirring at high heat
- Serve with ground black pepper and a dash extra-virgin olive oil
Variations & Substitutions
- Try to replace the wine with beer for a different taste.
- If not LCHF, use white rice to serve not pasta.
- Black olives are a nice addition at the end.
- To increase calories, add 1 to 2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil just before serving.
