Chicken Arrabbiata is a simple dish with a rich, flavorful, and SPICY red sauce. Serve over pasta or rice.

Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)
6 bone-in chicken thighs ((about 2.5 lbs. total), $3.99)
1 pinch salt and pepper ($0.05)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour ($0.08)
4 cloves garlic ($0.32)
1 15oz. can diced tomatoes ($0.69)
1 15oz. can crushed tomatoes ($0.69)
1/2 tsp dried basil ($0.05)
1/4 tsp red pepper (crushed, $0.03)
1/2 cup chicken broth ($0.07)
1 handful fresh parsley (optional, $0.14)
12 oz. pasta (for serving, $1.41)
Instructions
1 Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then dredge each piece in flour until they are lightly coated.
2 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot (it will sizzle if a pinch of flour is dropped into the oil), add the chicken. Brown the chicken on both sides (5-7 minutes each side), then remove the chicken from the skillet. While the chicken is browning, mince the garlic.
3 After the chicken is removed from the skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté briefly (1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic is soft, but not brown). Add both cans of tomatoes with juices, basil, crushed red pepper, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
4 Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce, and spoon some sauce over top of each piece. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Simmer the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes, turning the chicken over half way through to make sure both sides receive adequate heat.
5 Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked pasta and garnish with roughly chopped parsley.
