Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: bell peppers should be cored and sliced. Sliced red onion. Clean and halve or quarter mushrooms. Roughly chop garlic. Set aside.
Using paper towels, pat the chicken dry and season with salt on both sides.
Lightly dredge chicken in the flour. Gently shake off excess flour from the chicken pieces and set aside.
Preheat pan over medium heat. Using a large 5-quart braiser or dutch oven with lid, add olive oil and heat until the oil is glistening.
Brown both sides of each piece of chicken until it's golden. Set aside. The chicken will complete the cooking process in the braising process.
Once the chicken is browned, using the same pan, add vegetables and garlic, and a little more olive if needed.
Sauté vegetables for about 2-3 minutes until they turn bright in color.
Add white wine and deglaze any bits from the chicken and vegetables. About 2 minutes.
Add chicken broth, tomatoes, olives, Italian seasoning, dried basil, bay leaf, fresh rosemary, red pepper flakes, remaining salt and pepper. Stir mixture. Nestle chicken pieces into the vegetables and broth.
Place lid on braiser or dutch oven and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Check after 30 minutes to ensure chicken and vegetables are tender and cooked through.
Serve with your choice of side and some crusty bread.
