Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in soup pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just tender. Remove vegetables to medium bowl, leaving any remaining oil in pot.

Meanwhile, combine flour, salt, and pepper in shallow dish and dip chicken into flour mixture one piece at a time, coating completely. In same soup pot, cook chicken pieces for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until browned.

Return vegetables to pot and add remaining ingredients; mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and no pink remains.

Serve chicken topped with sauce and vegetables over egg noodles.

Serve over bed of egg noodles and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
