CHICKEN SICILIAN (PAUL'S) image

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 chicken breasts, cleaned and rinsed
½ can whole plum tomatoes, tomatoes should be de-stemmed and chopped roughly, no extra liquid
¾ cup white wine
½ onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4-5 cherry peppers, chopped roughly
10-12 olives (assorted varieties), pitted and chopped roughly
2 tablespoons capers
Olive oil
Flour, seasoned
Salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

1. To prepare the chicken, thinly slice chicken breasts into flat pieces, pound thin and cut into small pieces (1"' x 2"). 2. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add enough olive oil to brown chicken. When hot, dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour and place in skillet. Brown on each side, roughly 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and reserve in bowl. You'll probably need to do this in 2 batches. When all of the chicken is browned, add about a ¼ cup of white wine to the skillet to deglaze. Reduce for 1 minute and add back into bowl of chicken. 3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When hot, add onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cherry peppers and sauté another minute. Add chopped tomatoes, ½ cup white wine, salt and pepper. Stir to mix and simmer for 10 minutes. 4. Add chicken pieces back into the skillet along with the olives and capers. Simmer mixture, stirring to incorporate and warm everything. 5. Serve with side of pasta, or over pasta. Add grated cheese.
