    Recipe



    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray, or use broth or wine and add chicken; sautŽ until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate with a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and onion and sautŽ for 3 minutes, or until tender. Mix in mushrooms and green bell pepper and sautŽ for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, parsley, oregano, thyme, bay leaf and reserved chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes.

    Reader's Comments: This recipe is wonderful. I added chicken broth instead of the red wine since I didn't want to buy an entire bottle of wine for one recipe. Also, when the recipe asked for canned stewed tomatoes, I used the Italian flavored kind and just dumped them in, juice and all. It makes the sauce a little soupier, which is the way we like it.
