How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, season chicken pieces with salt and pepper then brown the chicken pieces well on both sides (2-3 minutes per side). Remove the chicken to a plate.

  • Step 2: Add the mushrooms, onions, peppers, celery to the pan drippings, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook another minute or two.

  • Step 3: Add the white wine; cook on medium heat until some of the alcohol has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet.

  • Step 4: Add in the chopped tomatoes with juice, chicken broth, oregano and parsley. Simmer on low, uncovered for about 1 hour seasoning the sauce with salt and pepper during cooking. Add in olives the last 10 minutes of cooking time.
