Flip it over and brown 2-3 minutes. Do this in 2 batches as to not overcrowd the pan.Add the sauce ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth or chunky if you prefer. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.Add the sauce to the skillet along with the capers and crushed red pepper flakes.Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 F.Garnish with oregano or finely chopped parsley and serve with pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, bread, or a salad. Top with feta cheese and enjoy!NotesChicken breast may be substituted for the thigh meat. However, breast cooks much faster so, as soon as it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F, stop cooking it so that it stays juicy. A whole chicken that has been cut into pieces can also be used. If you prefer skinless chicken, feel free to use that instead as well.Official Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/dimitrasdishes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dimitras.dishes/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dimitrasdis0637/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DimitrasDishes Here are links to some of my favorite cooking tools.
