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!
