Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6–8)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 purple onion; cut in small chunks
  • 1/2 each of red, yellow, and green peppers, sliced in small chunks
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms (optional)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or 1 can plus enough water to make 2 cups)

  2. 2. Wash the chicken breasts, pat dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Brown the chicken, burning when necessary. Transfer the chicken to a 9" x 13" baking dish.
