Chicken Alla Romana
This is a tasty, easy chicken main dish that you can improvise with in lots of directions. Chicken thighs have more deep chicken flavor, so I used them, but breasts would work. Bone in or out works. Onions or no onions (my preference) works. Whatever color peppers you'd like to use works. Have fun!
