10 oz. roasted red peppers (280 grams, drained and sliced)

HOW TO MAKE MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN THIGHS
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 2: After rinsing the chicken, pat them dry using paper towels and season with salt and pepper. On medium-high, heat a roasting pan, then add a couple of tbsp olive oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down to the pan and sear until lightly golden. Turn the chicken over and turn the heat off.
Step 3: Add the potatoes to the pan along with tomatoes, red peppers, capers, garlic, and oregano. Stir well, then season with a little more salt and pepper and drizzle with a couple more tbsp olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for about 45 to 55 minutes.
Step 4: Remove from the oven and serve garnished with parsley if desired. Enjoy!
