4-5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil

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.

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.
