Step 1
Season the 4 chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and brown the chicken until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 2
Pour in the 1 cup red wine and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Scrape up any browned bits, then simmer until the sauce reduces by half and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Warm the 2 cups mashed potatoes in a microwave or saucepan until hot, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Serve the chicken and sauce over the mashed potatoes. Garnish with the 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper and 2 tbsp chopped chives.
Step 5
Drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the top before serving.
