chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are often cheaper.

Season chicken thighs with garlic salt, granulated onion, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning; rub the seasonings into the meat.

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven until hot; do not add olive oil while the pan is heating to avoid burning.

Dredge chicken thighs in flour, then add them to the hot oil in batches, cooking for 5 minutes on each side until browned; do not worry about cooking them through at this point.

Remove chicken from the pan and set aside; keep the drippings in the pan.

Add chopped bell peppers and prosciutto to the drippings; cook for about 5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds.

Stir in the cans of diced tomatoes, fresh oregano, fresh thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes; cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in about 1 cup of chicken broth (or more if needed) and bring to a boil.

Return the chicken to the pot, reduce heat, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Finish the dish with capers and parsley just before serving.
