Servings: persons

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 skinless boneless, chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large green pepper, cut into thin bite-sized strips
1 large yellow pepper, cut into thin bite-sized strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup sliced pitted ripe olives
1 tablespoon snipped fresh oregano

1
Place flour in a shallow dish. Dip chicken into flour to coat. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat about 4 minutes or until chicken is browned, turning once. Remove chicken.
2
Add sweet peppers, onion and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are nearly tender. Add paprika and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute more.
3
Stir in undrained tomatoes, broth and olives (this is where I add about 1/8 cup wine). Bring to boiling. Return chicken to skillet, spooning tomato mixture over chicken. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 10 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
4
Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Stir snipped oregano into tomato mixture. Spoon tomato mixture over chicken. If desired, garnish with some oregano leaves.
