This recipe came out of necessity. I wanted to make my Chicken with Red Wine Sauce, but quickly discovered, I had no wine…or olives. What I did have was tomatoes and red peppers.
Since I had larger cans of tomato sauce, I evolved the recipe to be more stew-based. And it turned out really yummy! Perfect for a cool, cloudy day. I’ll be making this again.

Notes
• Olive oil: Greeks love cooking with olive oil. You can absolutely lessen this— just ensure that the base of your pot is well coated with olive oil. • Tomato sauce: if you only have a larger can of tomato sauce, that’s ok! Add it in! • Diced tomatoes: same as the tomato sauce, if you only have a larger can, add it in! • Chicken broth: can substitute with water.
