Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Dry chicken pieces thoroughly. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or casserole and brown the chicken pieces a few at a time over high heat. Set chicken aside as it is browned.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat and add the onions, garlic, green pepper and red pepper. Saute until tender but not brown. Stir in the lemon juice and wine.

  3. Step 3

    Return the chicken to the pan, baste with the juices, add the bay leaf and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and allow to simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the chicken to a heated platter and cover to keep warm. Boil down the pan juices until reduced by about one-third, then whisk in the butter bit by bit to thicken the sauce. Taste and reseason if necessary.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices.

Uh no. This was a big disappointment . Lots of work, no flavorful outcome. I do not recommend.

Great recipe. I used chicken thighs and added some leeks and celery, and measured the onions, peppers and wine generously. Including some paprika (recent harvest) and fresh thyme gave the finished sauce more of a spark. Will make this again.
