Directions: |
Directions:Place the flour in a shallow dish and coat the chicken pieces, shaking off any excess. Heat the oil in a large saucepot over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken in batches and fry until golden brown on all sides. When all the chicken has been cooked, set it aside. Pour out all but 2 Tbs of the grease left in the pan.
Add the onion to the pan and cook until they've softened. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, until they release most of their liquid. Add the garlic and bell peppers and saute until the vegetables are soft, approximately 6 minutes. If the pan gets dry while sauteeing the onions and mushrooms add a little bit of water to the pan.
Add the wine and let reduce for about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, crushed red pepper, salt, oregano, bay leaves, and tomato paste. Return the chicken to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring constantly.
Turn down the heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Stir in the fresh basil just before serving.
This dish goes well with any pasta or rice and tastes even better the following day. |

Notes: The flour can be omitted, I like to use chicken thighs and skip using flour. Season the chicken on both sides with salt
Once the sauce is ready, pour into a large shallow dish and place the chicken on top, skin side up. Place in oven preheated to 450 and cook for about 45 minutes. This will give the chicken crispy skin.
