Ingredients
1 red bell pepper
1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
1 cup store-bought low-sodium chicken stock or broth
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
1/3 cup pitted green olives, halved
2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons sherry-wine vinegar
1/4 cup freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place bell pepper directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat or on a grill. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil peppers on a baking sheet, turning, until skin has charred.) Transfer peppers to a large bowl and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam, about 15 minutes. Peel peppers; discard skins. Remove stems, seeds, and ribs, and cut each pepper lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips; set aside.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and cook, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a large plate or baking sheet; set aside.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to Dutch oven and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes; add onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour until well combined. Add wine and let simmer for 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, roasted pepper strips, and olives.
Return chicken to Dutch oven; transfer to oven. Cook chicken in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir in capers, vinegar, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Serve.
