Rub chicken with salt and pepper to season.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet to hot. Add chicken a few pieces at a time and brown. Remove to a plate.

Add onions and sauté till translucent. Add garlic and chile pepper and sauté 1-2 more minutes. Add wine and reduce down to almost dry.

Add peppers, tomatoes, ham, oregano and thyme. Bring to simmer and add chicken pieces over top.

Cover and simmer 20-25 minutes till chicken is cooked through. Add a little water or stock if needed.
