Ingredients

• 1 pound(s) uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), cut into 1 1/2-in pieces
• 1/4 tsp table salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 large sweet red pepper(s), or yellow pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 pound(s) uncooked yukon gold potato(es), cut into 3/4- to 1-in pieces
• 1/2 cup(s) red wine, dry
• 1 1/2 cup(s) store-bought marinara sauce
• 1/2 cup(s) water

Preparation

Step 1

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet and sauté until golden brown and almost cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes; remove from skillet to a plate.

Off heat, coat skillet with cooking spray again. Add peppers and potatoes; sauté until vegetables are lightly browned, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add wine; simmer 1 minute.

Add marinara sauce and water to skillet; increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in chicken and any accumulated juices.


Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
