1 (3 ½ to 4 lb.) Chicken, cut into pieces

½ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. black pepper

¼ cup flour

2 tbsp. canola oil

½ red onion, sliced

1 carrot, sliced thin

1 red pepper, sliced thin

1 yellow pepper, sliced thin

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup dry white wine

1 ½ tbsp. sherry vinegar

1 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary

1 (28 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained well

1 ½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. black pepper

2 tsp. sugar

½ cup chopped mixed olives

2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

 

1 baguette

2 cloves garlic, peeled

2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

 

Preheat oven to 350°

 

Season flour with ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper, dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour. Heat canola oil in cast iron casserole over medium heat, then brown chicken in batches until deep golden brown on both slides.  Remove browned chicken to plate and repeat with remaining chicken.  Remove all but 2 tbsp. fat from pan.

 

Add onion, carrot and peppers to pan, stir and cook for 3 minutes then add garlic and cook until fragrant. Deglaze pan with wine, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan, allow wine to reduce by more than half.  Stir in vinegar, tomatoes, rosemary, 1 ½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp. pepper and sugar.  Bring to a simmer.

 

Add chicken to pan, cover and bake in oven for 30 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken to warm platter and reduce liquid on stovetop if desired. 

 

Carefully wipe grill pan dry and heat over medium heat on stove. Cut baguette into 6 inch sections and cut in half lengthwise.  Grill on cut side until browned with grill marks.  Remove bread from grill, cut each garlic clove in half and rub cut side on bread, garlic will grate itself into the bread for flavor, drizzle with olive oil.

 

Serve chicken with stewed peppers, garnished with olives and parsley, alongside grilled bread.
