Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
• 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes with juice and low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce and vegetables.

Step 9

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded.

Step 10

Before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish.

Step 11

Serve hot, perhaps alongside a serving of whole-grain pasta or brown rice for a complete meal.
