Ma's Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter Style)

This is my mother's recipe. :)

6 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup or more of olive oil
Flour
Salt pepper
4-6 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
1 yellow onion sliced thinly
6-8 small red and yellow peppers
1/2 to 3/4 cup red wine
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon of gravy master (optional)
1 cup of sliced cremini mushrooms
Fresh basil, cut into ribbons
Fresh oregano, chopped
Fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Chicken broth or water

Season the flour with salt and pepper and then dredge the chicken in the flour; shake off the excess.

Brown the chicken in the olive oil slowly on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Now add garlic, onions, peppers and mushrooms to pan, cook and stir up the drippings for about 5-6 minutes until they are softened. Add back the chicken.

Combine the tomatoes, gravy master, wine, spices and add to the pan. Bring mixture to a gentle boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, turning once. Check the liquid level, if too dry add small amounts of water or chicken broth to keep liquid covering the chick and veg. Adjust salt if needed. Can be served over pasta or rice. Garnish with parsley.
