Chicken Cacciatore, Nonna style

Okay, so as requested..here is our family's chicken cacciatore recipe:

Ingredients
4 chicken thighs and 2 breasts (I use all breasts)
2 tsp salt/pepper
1/2 cup flour
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 cup white cooking wine
1 can diced tomatoes
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 cup chopped basil

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Coat with flour.

In a large saute pan, heat oil. Add chicken pieces to pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned. Put in a dish.

Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, and saute. Season with salt and pepper, add wine. Simmer until reduced by half. Add tomatoes with juice, oregano, broth. Return chicken to pan and coat in sauce. Bring to simmer. Continue simmering over medium heat until cooked through~about 30 minutes.

Transfer chicken to platter, and spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with basil.

Mangia! Mangia!
