-
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 cups chopped red bell peppers
-
2 cups chopped yellow onion
-
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, halved
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
3 tablespoons minced garlic
-
¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
-
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
½ cup red wine
-
4 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
-
1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
-
1 cup unsalted chicken broth
-
¼ cup drained capers
-
¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives
-
3 cups water
-
1 ⅓ cups uncooked instant polenta
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup torn fresh basil
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion, mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add flour, tomato paste, garlic, oregano and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wine; cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, for 30 seconds.
-
Transfer the mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in chicken, tomatoes, broth and capers. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours.
-
Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board; let cool for 5 minutes. Remove bones and return the meat to the slow cooker. Stir in olives and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover to keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in polenta; cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan. Serve the chicken and sauce over the polenta, topped with basil.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
