To make this recipe, you’ll need a sturdy skillet that is oven-safe. A good rule of thumb when choosing the perfect oven-ready skillet is to make sure it can withstand heat up to 500°F. It should be able to be used on the stovetop, in the oven and in the broiler. The oven-safe skillet I use can even be stored in the freezer and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

 

 

If you do not have an oven-safe pan to use, you can still make this main dish. Simply (but carefully) transfer the chicken thighs, after searing them, into a baking pan and follow the rest of the recipe directions.

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

I like to use multi-colored tomatoes because it gives such a great color to the finished dish, but any tomatoes will be fine, just be sure to cut them in bite-size pieces.
