make it
Gently brown chicken in 1 Tbsp. oil. Remove.
Add remaining oil, saute onion and garlic for 5 min. Add mushrooms, cook for 4 min. Stir in green peppers, tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, basil and black pepper. Cover, simmer for 20 min.
Add chicken. Cover, simmer gently for 25 min, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve sprinkled generously with parsley.
Notes
This chicken comes out so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is so zesty and plentiful, you'll need lots of crusty Italian bread to sop it up.
