Instructions

  • Season the chicken with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate, cover, and set aside.
  • Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, and rosemary to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has evaporated.

  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Taste and add additional salt if needed.

Notes

  • Brown the Chicken Well: Let the chicken sear until golden before flipping. This builds flavor for the sauce.
  • Use One Skillet: Cooking everything in the same pan allows the browned bits to flavor the vegetables and tomatoes.
  • Deglaze the Pan: When adding the wine, scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deepen the sauce.
  • Simmer Gently: Keep the sauce at a low simmer to ensure tender chicken and balanced flavor.
  • Adjust the Sauce: Uncover the pan to thicken the sauce or add a splash of broth if it reduces too much.
