Basque Chicken

Description

Another recipe I found in Better Homes & Gardens Cook Healthy Today. I am posting as written but I have add some white wine (which makes it a little more unhealthy but the flavor). Also I have used chicken thighs and canned tomatoes with the italian seasonings. Serve along with potatoes or rice.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :5 Min

Cook Time : 30 Min

Total Time : 35 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 2 all-purpose flour
  • 4 chicken breast halves
  • 1 olive oil
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1large yellow pepper, cut into thin bite-sized strips
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 onion
  • 1 paprika
  • 1⁄8 cayenne pepper
  • 14 1⁄2 diced tomatoes
  • 1⁄4 reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1⁄3 pitted ripe olives
  • 1 fresh oregano

Directions

  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Dip chicken into flour to coat. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat about 4 minutes or until chicken is browned, turning once. Remove chicken.
  • Add sweet peppers, onion and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Add paprika and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.
  • Stir in undrained tomatoes, broth and olives (this is where I add about 1/8 cup wine). Bring to boiling. Return chicken to skillet, spooning tomato mixture over chicken. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 10 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
  • Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Stir snipped oregano into tomato mixture. Spoon tomato mixture over chicken. If desired, garnish with some oregano leaves.
