Instructions

  1. Dredge the chicken pieces in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove and set aside.

  2. In the same skillet, sauté the onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.

  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, white wine, oregano, and basil. Bring to a simmer.

  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Cover and simmer 35 to 40 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
