Ingredients

  • 3 whole  (6 halves) chicken breasts or 6-8 thighs (either can be skinless)
  • cup flour (approximately)
  • 2-4 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ lb mushrooms, cut in half if small, cut in quarters if large
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 medium sized onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 anchovies, rinsed and minced (or 1 tablespoon anchovy paste)
  • ¾ cup white wine
  • 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes, chopped or squeezed
  • ¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Mix the flour with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper, and coat the chicken pieces it. In a large skillet, over a medium heat, add the olive oil, and brown the chicken on both sides.  Remove from pan. You may have to do this in multiple batches.
  • Add the mushrooms, and cover. After 4-5 minutes, stirring to keep them from sticking, the mushrooms will be soft and there will be liquid in the pan.
  • Add the thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic, onion, and bay leaf. Cook, uncovered, until the onion is soft.  Add 2 tablespoons of flour (or any remaining flour from the coated chicken), and mix well. Add the anchovies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
  • Add the wine, tomatoes, and broth. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the chicken to the wine and tomato mixture, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. You can tell when the chicken is done when it is no longer pink inside, but it is still moist.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Remove the bay leaf before serving.
