01 Step

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02 Step

Recipe View Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step is primarily to develop flavor; the chicken will finish cooking in the oven. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Add the potatoes and bell peppers to the skillet. Season with oregano, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, approximately 10-15 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat. (20 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the tomato-vegetable sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Ensure the chicken is mostly submerged in the sauce. Cover the dish tightly again with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

05 Step

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach at least 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. (45 minutes)

06 Step

Recipe View Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry red wine to the sauce while it simmers.
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped and sprinkled over the finished dish, adds a bright, herbaceous note.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it on the stovetop for a few minutes after baking, before serving.
This dish is excellent served with crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
