Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breast halves, with ribs
2 skinless chicken thighs, with bones
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus 1 teaspoon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
3 ounces prosciutto, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Directions

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.

If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve.

Wonderful Flavors!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this for about a year or so and I never get tired of it, nor does my family! Wonderful,healthy and fresh... flavors. Great the night its made, great the next day, probably great frozen and thawed. I never go wrong with this dish, and even though it seems like a cold weather meal, I love making it in the summer with all the fresh herbs from our garden. Mashed potatoes are a great compliment to this meal as is rice or even pasta, the only thing I sometimes change is the addition of extra veggies like shallots and mushrooms if handy. Read more

MY (second) FAVORITE CHICKEN RECIPE!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Second only to Paula Deen's "Chicken Georgia".......I have made this recipe many many many times....love it. The sauce is... more like a broth but I'm not complaining. I make it with mashed potatoes and the broth flavors the potatoes....YUM! If you prefer more of a "sauce" you could dredge the chicken in flour before you brown it (you may have to disgard the oil if the flour burns) or you could remove some broth with peppers and put it in the blender for a few and add it back to the pot to thicken up the broth....CHANGES-change 1... I think is a must "the prosciutto"--I don't like the thin cut, it gets dried out....I get mine at the deli sliced like thick cut bacon and I cut it up in small chunks. Change number 2...I really prefer the dark meat chicken for this...I love chicken breast but not for this....I use all thighs. I use "dry" thyme and oregano (not fresh) same amounts called for and I think it's wonderfully flavored.Read more

FANTASTIC!! Flavorful and Juicy Chicken!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this the other night while hosting 9 guests. Was a HUGE hit at the table. Chicken turned out juicy and full of flavors.... I served it the same night i prepared it - if it is getting raves about being better the next night, i cant even imagine what that will be like - but im certainly looking forward to trying it!!

So flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I printed this recipe months ago and finally found time to make it. My husband and I loved it. It was very easy to make. ... The sauce is so full of different flavors and the chicken just fell apart. I cooked it a little longer than the recipe stated. Also just used chicken thighs. So tender and the white wine makes the dish. Happy cooking!!Read more
