This version of the classic Italian recipe, chicken cacciatore, is done in half the time of most traditional versions, but is still full of rich flavor thanks to plenty of mushrooms, tomatoes and herbs.

Ready In
- Place flour in a shallow bowl. Cut each chicken breast in half on the diagonal to make 4 roughly equal portions; sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour and transfer to a plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add mushrooms, onion, rosemary and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the vegetables with the reserved flour and cook, stirring, until coated. Add wine to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add drained tomatoes, broth, roasted red peppers and olives; bring to a lively simmer over medium-low heat.
- Return the chicken to the pan and continue cooking, stirring once or twice, until the liquid has thickened slightly and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve the chicken with the sauce, garnished with rosemary, if desired.

Downright perfect! Easy, fast and very tasty. I used what I had on hand so had to make a couple substitutions - canned mushrooms instead of fresh, my own roasted/frozen red peppers and a splash of Balsamic vinegar in lieu of the wine. I served it with a Spanish brown rice that was leftover from another meal but it would be excellent with an angel hair pasta.
Cons - none Pros - everything about it!

I always make a recipe from the magazine every month that I think we would like. We have three binders so far. My daughter has named them, Pilot Pleasers. Her Dad always cooks her meat and potatoes when I was out on a trip.( OK, moms home, here come the spices!!!) I always make them as written the first time and then alter. But this is a go as it is written. Thank you so much.
Pros: Pilot says.. great blend of flavors, great meal.
Cons: none left !!
