Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves
• 1 pound skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

1. In a large shallow pan, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
2. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Cook the chicken for about 8 minutes, or until chicken is lightly browned on both sides; drain.
3. Add the remaining ingredients, except the green pepper strips; cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.
4. Stir in the pepper strips and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes more, or until the chicken is fork-tender, no pink remains, and the liquid has thickened.
5. Serve with the sauce from the pan.
