1
Prepare all ingredients (mise en place): slice the chicken breasts thin, julienne the bell peppers, mince the garlic, slice the mushrooms, and pre-boil the potatoes until tender.
2
Heat a pot and sear the chicken pieces over medium heat until lightly browned, then push to the side of the pan.
3
Add the julienned bell peppers next to the chicken and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
4
Add the sliced mushrooms and lightly sprinkle with onion salt to help draw out their moisture; continue cooking.
5
Add the minced garlic and red chili pepper flakes and stir quickly until fragrant.
6
Immediately add a splash of white wine to capture the garlic aroma and let it reduce by at least half.
7
Pour in a small amount of beef broth (about 2-3 tablespoons), then add canned tomatoes (about 3-4 ladles).
8
Stir in the dried oregano, grape tomatoes, and some fresh basil (reserving some for garnish).
9
Return the seared chicken pieces with all their juices to the pot.
10
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for about 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and flavors blend.
11
Stir in the pre-boiled potatoes and Kalamata olives (if using) and warm through for a few minutes.
12
Finish with fresh basil and lemon zest to brighten and enhance all the flavors.
