Step 1
Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 2 minutes per side until golden, then remove to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in crushed tomatoes, vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and return chicken to pan.
Step 4
Simmer chicken uncovered 8 minutes until cooked through, stirring sauce occasionally.
Step 5
While chicken cooks, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 8 minutes), then drain and mash with butter and salt.
Step 6
Steam broccoli 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Warm bread rolls if desired. Plate chicken with sauce, potatoes, and broccoli.
