Step 1

1

Preheat the oven to 375F.

Heat the oil in a large, high-sided sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a deep, square casserole dish.

Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 5 minutes until browned. Stir in the garlic and bell pepper and cook for a few minutes more to soften.

Add the wine and stir to scrape up the browned bits. Add the tomatoes, rosemary and sage, and bring to a simmer.

6

Pour the rice into the casserole dish over the chicken, then pour the contents of the skillet into the casserole dish.

Stir to combine, then cover and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for 10 minutes more until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Serve immediately.
