  • Author: Grandma Betty

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, sliced
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
– 1 cup chicken broth
– ¼ cup Catalina dressing
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Braised Catalina Chicken can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Mix in Dressing and Spices: Add the Catalina dressing, oregano, and paprika. Stir to combine.
6. Return Chicken to Skillet: Place the seared chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
7. Braise in Oven: Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 1 hour.
8. Check for Doneness: After 1 hour, check the chicken for doneness. It should be fully cooked and tender.
9. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

These easy steps will guide you in making an incredible Braised Catalina Chicken that is sure to impress.
