Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place flour in a shallow dish, add salt and pepper.
  • Place metal frying pan on med. high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Dredge the chicken through the flour and shake off excess.
  • Place chicken, in the hot oil slowly. You don't want the temp of the oil to drop.
  • Cook the chicken until well browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove to a warm dish and set aside.
  • Add the onion and cook until translucent, add the garlic until fragrant.
  • Add the sauce and scrape any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the basil, oregano , parsley and bay leaf.
  • If adding the olives and mushrooms add now.
  • Add a splash of wine.
  • Bring to a gentle boil and add the chicken.
  • Turn the chicken to coat.
  • Decrease the heat to a slow simmer, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Note:I always make this with bone skinless because I try to cut the fat where possible but it could certainly be made any cut of chicken. It's actually better with bone-in cuts.

    Just a quick question Bren, what are strained tomatoes? I haven't seen them before, is there maybe another name for them here in the States? Planning on making this next week :)

    Wow what a fantastic recipe. Used 4 boneless chicken legs and 2 large boneless breasts which I had cut in half. Simmered for several hours and the house smelled wonderful. Thank you Bren for such a great recipe.

    Delicious! A very easy recipe to put together. Cooking time was spot on,and very flavorful. I used chicken broth in place of the red wine and i forgot to add the olives, but it turned out great.
    I would recommend you try this as you will not be disappointed.
    I made steamed cauliflower and green beans as a side. We enjoyed this very much. Thanks Bren for sharing!!! I should have added that i used my own tomatoe sauce as it was there:))
