Steps

To prepare the pan-seared chicken and peppers, start by removing the skin from the chicken.
Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
Pour in the flour and mix with your hands to coat the chicken evenly with flour.
Sauté in a pan with some oil, a garlic clove, and the basil stems (set aside the leaves).
When the garlic is golden, add the chicken and
brown it on both sides.
Pour in a cup of wine and let all the alcohol evaporate,
add the peppers cut into thin strips or small squares,
season with salt,
pepper, and cook for a few minutes.
When the peppers start to wilt, add a cup of water and
cook covered for 10/15 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn’t dry up too much, add more water if needed.
Remove the lid, add the basil leaves, and let the sauce thicken.
When the sauce has reached the right creamy consistency, turn off the heat and plate, pouring the peppers and sauce over the chicken.
Add a few basil leaves and
enjoy this dish.
