Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups cored seeded sweet red, green and yellow peppers, cut into thin strips
1 cup thinly sliced onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon saffron stems, or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium high heat in a skillet. Add the peppers, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes or until crisp tender. Then add the tomatoes and saffron. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken breasts in one layer. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the pieces, reduce the heat and cook about 5 minutes or until done. Do not overcook. Transfer the chicken to a warm platter and keep it warm. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook until wilted. Do not brown. Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom with a wooden spatula to dissolve any brown particles that may cling to the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the wine almost completely and add the chicken broth. Let this cook until it is almost totally reduced. Add the chicken breasts and any liquid that may have accumulated. Add the pepper and tomato mixture, bring to a simmer and add the parsley. Serve with rice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and tough.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce is what really makes it.
