Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the olive oil and tilt to coat the pan. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook without disturbing for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3 minutes, until lightly browned on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
- Add the Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Mezzetta® Pitted Castelvetrano Italian Olives, and yellow squash, then cook for 1 minute, stirring to combine.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and white wine, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes start to break down and the mixture begins to reduce slightly.
- Fold in the butter, then add the chopped thyme and red pepper flakes, if using, and season with salt and pepper.
- Nestle the chicken thighs into the sauce, skin-side up, leaving some of the skin exposed.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily pulls away from the bone. Cover the pan loosely with foil if the skin starts to get too dark.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with the parsley and serve.
- Enjoy!

PENNE WITH CHICKEN, PORTABELLA & PEPPERS
This is something I came up with to have a restaurant style pasta dish at home. You can vary the sauce used, in order to change the recipe. It also works great with a red pepper sauce or an alfredo sauce. I used to use white mushrooms, but the potabellos really brought it to the next level.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place 2 cups Parmesan cheese into a shallow bowl.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Dip chicken breasts into the beaten egg whites.
- Press chicken into Parmesan cheese in shallow bowl to coat both sides.
- Gently toss between your hands so any cheese that hasn't stuck can fall away. Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Meanwhile, heat Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan over low heat. Allow to simmer while you finish the remaining steps.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; cook and stir mushrooms and spinach until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir vegetables into the sauce.
- Place the penne pasta into a serving bowl; slice chicken breasts and arrange over the pasta.
- Pour sauce over the pasta and chicken, and sprinkle remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese on top.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roast the peppers until they are slightly charred: Roasting the peppers will bring out their natural sweetness. Make sure you roast them until they are slightly charred, but not burnt.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish. Make sure you use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Season the dish to taste: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
Conclusion:
This penne with chicken, roasted peppers, and olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the peppers are sweet and smoky, and the olives add a briny touch.
