Directions
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the chicken, sauteing for 4–5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove chicken from Dutch oven; drain on paper towels.
Add onion and garlic to Dutch oven; saute over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and the next seven ingredients. Add chicken, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
