directions

  • Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel.
  • Coat the chicken all over with olive oil.
  • Season well with salt and pepper.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed fry pan, with 1/4 cup olive oil, (large enough to hold all the chicken and the sauce in), over medium-high heat, brown the chicken pieces until brown on both sides (do not burn the chicken, otherwise the sauce will have a bitter taste).
  • Remove the browned chicken pieces to a plate; keep warm.
  • Add in the chopped onions, green bell pepper and the garlic to the same skillet; saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the chicken pieces back to the skillet.
  • Add in the wine (or water if using); cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add in the tomato sauce and the mushrooms, cover again; cook for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is done (turn once during the last stage of cooking).
  • ***NOTE***If desired grated Parmesan cheese may be sprinkled over the chicken before serving.

  1. I used skinless chicken breast for this recipe and the red wine it called for. I enjoyed the flavors that were cooked into the meat by just using a few vegetables and the wine. I thought it would not have much of a flavor but it really did. This is a very easy recipe to fix. I omitted steps 2 and 3 and served this over rice. Next time I'll have to try the spaghetti and grated Parmesan cheese. Thank you, Kittencal, for another keeper that the whole family enjoyed.
