Ingredients
- 4 skinless chicken breast halves on the bone, about 2 pounds
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, chopped and juice reserved
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
Directions
Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a saute pan over moderately-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken.
Reduce the heat to moderate. Add the onion and pepper, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the tomatoes and juice, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and simmer the mixture covered for 10 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer, covered, until the chicken is just done, about 20 minutes longer.

Recipe was great! It was easy to make. The chicken wasn't dry. My 4, 6, and 9 year old even ate the mushrooms.

Wow! This recipe was very simple yet extremely delicious. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and a can of diced tomatoes seasoned with basil, garlic, and oregano. I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh. I used cooking white wine. With all the substitutions, the meal was scrumptious. I will definitely keep it in my recipe rotation!
