4-5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup Sungold cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
¼ medium onion, sliced into ⅛” slices
1 red bell pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, sliced
3 sprigs thyme
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour and pat the surfaces to remove excess flour.

Flip the chicken and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Switch to [LOW] heat, add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add onions and bell peppers and continue to sauté for 2 minutes until soft. Sprinkle salt and pepper.
Add cherry tomatoes, bay leaves and thyme in the pot. Add back the seared chicken along with the drippings. Cover and braise over [LOW] heat for 25 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
