directions
- Season the chicken with half of the salt and pepper.
- In large heavy skillet heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Brown chicken well on both sides, remove to a platter and let rest.
- In same pan over same heat add peppers and prosciutto and cook until the the peppers have browned.
- Throw in the garlic and heat about 1 minute.
- Add tomatoes, wine and seasonings, be sure to get the brown bits from the bottom of the pan--that is where the flavor hides.
- Bring just to a boil, returning the chicken to the pan add the stock/broth and then reduce heat to simmer. Cover dish and let chicken cook turning occasionally until cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite potatoes or rice dish. Thicken the sauce if you wish with a little cornstarch and water.
