(Serves 4-6)
Ingredients
2-3 pounds chicken breast, cut into small bite-sized pieces
Mix together:
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Toss chicken bites in flour mixtures and brown in 1/4 cup olive oil. Drain excess oil.
In same pan, add:
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chopped yellow onion (I used a whole onion!)
4 tomatoes, quartered
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon powdered thyme
1/2 bay leaf
Directions
Cook and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, or until the thickest pieces of chicken are tender.
In a separate pan saute 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms in olive oil to brown. Add to chicken with 1/2 cup sliced green olives. (I used black olives and they were good, too!)
If sauce needs thickening, stir in 2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 cup chicken stock.

Serve over rice, potatoes or puff pastry shells.
